About the song

“Mr. Nice” is the first track on Left Alone, listening to you with a happy grin, a good heart, and just enough patience to see where things might end up later tonight. But not too much patience. He’s not the type to chase the fight. He’s the type to hold station and see if the fight comes to him.

Mission: DCA. Defensive Counter Air. DCA protects friendly forces and assets from enemy air attacks. It means intercepting threats, covering friendly airspace, and staying vigilant enough to engage at a moment’s notice. Sometimes the right move is hanging out on the blades and waiting for the optimum moment to glide onto the dance floor.

Mr. Nice Lyrics

        Mr. Nice

        Written by

        [Verse 1]
        I watched my friends all glide across the floor
        Two-steppin’ with their girls
        Then I saw you walkin’ through that door
        And you rattled my whole world

        I could tell that somethin’ made you cry
        Like a heart that had to mend
        So I pulled out a chair by my side
        Said, “let me be your friend”

        A couple questions and it all poured out
        Your feelings flowin’ like the beer
        I sat and listened till they kicked us out
        We were smilin’ ear to ear

        You said “next time?” I said, “see you then”
        So we went our separate ways
        Every Friday we would meet again
        Girl, you had me in a daze

        [Pre-Chorus]
        And from then on, when you leaned in close
        Girl, I swore I saw the signs

        [Chorus]
        I guess I’m really not that kind of guy
        To just sit here playin’ friend
        Thought that you’d be kissin’ Nice goodbye
        But that’s not how this story ends

        [Verse 2]
        Then one Friday when you brought your friend
        She came and sat with you and me
        You said she wanted to meet the man
        Whose gentle words have set you free

        She saw how you felt safe and heard
        But she hung on what I said
        While you were talkin’ all about your world
        She was watchin’ me instead

        [Pre-Chorus]
        And now it’s you that’s leanin’ close
        But I ain’t the one you’re lookin’ for

        [Chorus – Final]
        I guess I’m really not that kind of guy
        To just sit here playin’ friend
        Thought that you’d be kissin’ Nice goodbye
        But that’s not how this story ends

        [Chorus – Slow / Outro]
        I really didn’t want to make you cry
        But I found true love in the end
        Thought that you’d be kissin’ Nice goodbye
        Now I’m out here dancin’ with your friend
