You Didn't Have To Be So Nice

You Didn't Have To Be So Nice -The Lovin'Spoonful
You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once
Or twice and gone upon your quiet way
Today I said the time was right for me
To follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two and it's true
You came upon a quiet day
You simply seemed to take your place
I knew that it would be that way
The minute that I saw your face
And when we've had a few more days
I wonder if I'll get to say
You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
（Be so nice would have liked）
Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew that I would find you in a day or two
You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or
Twice and gone upon your quiet way
