The Good Guy

 The Good Guy



He's a good guy, you know
Holds open doors
Says please and thank you
Donates to the poor

Opens his wallet
When hes out on a date
Got a good eye for flowers
Never let's down his mates

No paid work to do
Caught me sinker, line and hook
With his sailor tattoos

So as good as he was
He wasn't for me
Sure, he would've brushed my hair
Made hot cups of tea

Soothed my burnt face
When struck down with the flu
Held my body tight

So...you know...indecision

You know... it makes you wonder

Why some of us girls
Always go for that guy
With leather-studded jacket
And loud motorbike

When Mr Right was there

With his warm-hearted smile
And silly old songs

I guess you never know
Why the choices you make
Until you're old and alone
And know you made a
