I wish I had been that creep that you   wanted me to be   I wish I would've cheated and lied   If only I had been that creep that you   wanted me to be   You'd still be here by my side   (chorus) But nice guys finish last,   it's a cliché but it's true   The good guys always get the shaft,   they never get the girl like you   I should've tried a little harder,   but I didn't know the game   My mom and daddy raised me right so I guess   they're part to blame   I should've treated you like you treated me when   you tore my heart in tow   You should have stayed a little longer   You could have taught me how to lie   We could have been the perfect couple I am sure   I would've been your favorite creep, I would've   been your perfect guy   I would've been what you hate living life most for   (chorus)   I wish I had been that creep that   wanted me to be   I wish I would've cheated and lied   If only I had been that creep that you   wanted me to be   You'd still be here by my side
