I just wanna be sweet I just wanna be nice I just wanna stay calm I just wanna be gentle I don't wanna be hard I don't wanna be sexy I don't wanna be cool I don't wanna be clever I wanna be a nice girl I wanna be a nice girl Yeah I don't wanna pretend That I've learned all my lessons There's a sweet little thing Screaming inside I wanna be a nice girl I wanna be a nice girl Yeah Yeah I don't wanna be square But I don't wanna be hip No games and no flirtation Just pleasant conversation And it's not like I'm kidding I'm so tired of this mess There's a sweet little thing I'm a sweet little thing I wanna be a nice girl
