You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice lyrics
by John Lennon
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Today 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And when we've had a few more days (A few more days)
I wonder if I'll get to say (Get to say)
You didn't have to be so nice (Be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway
[Chorus]
Today 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
[Verse 1]
You didn't have to be so nice (Be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway (Anyway)
If you had just looked once or twice (Once or twice)
And gone upon your quiet way
