[Verse 1] She hit town, a rose in bloom Smellin' sweet, a sweet perfume The color faded and the petals died Down in the city, no one cried [Pre-Chorus] In the streets, the garbage lies Protected by a million flies The roaches so big that they got bones They moved in and made his house a home [Chorus] I said, "Nice boys don't play rock and roll" (No) Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy [Verse 2] Sweet sixteen, she was fresh and clean Wanted so bad to be part of the scene She met thе man and she did the smack She paid thе price laying flat on her back [Pre-Chorus] Wanted so bad just to please the boys Ended up just being a toy Played so hard, burned her life away Lies were told, no promises made [Chorus] The nice boys don't play rock and roll (I say) Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Young and fresh when she hit town Hot for kicks just to get around But now she lays in a filthy room She kills the pain with a flick and a spoon [Pre-Chorus] And in the streets where the garbage lies Protected by a million flies The roaches so big that they got bones They moved in and made his house a home [Chorus] Nice boys don't play rock and roll (No) Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll (No) Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy
