[Verse 1] I say please, I say thank you Hold the door and let you through You tell your stories, I just listen Funny how the facts keep shifting I don't need to call you out You do that fine all by yourself Keep on thinking I believe you It's kind of cute, if nothing else [Pre-Chorus] You think kindness makes me easy You think quiet means I don't see Baby, keep on underestimating me [Chorus] Nice doesn't mean naïve I know exactly what you're doing I've got manners up my sleeve But don't mistake them for confusion I can let you have your story I don't need the last word tonight I smile when I'm winning Don't confuse it with forgiving Nice doesn't mean naïve No, nice doesn't mean naïve [Verse 2] You brought flowers, that's adorable Your excuses aren't as colorful You say she's just somebody you know Funny, she seems to know you pretty well though I won't scream, I won't make a scene That's not really flattering on me I'll just finish up my drink And let you wonder what I think [Pre-Chorus] You think sweetness means I'm harmless You think pretty means I'm clueless Keep talking, honey You're doing all the work for me [Chorus] Nice doesn't mean naïve I know exactly what you're doing I've got manners up my sleeve But don't mistake them for confusion I can let you have your story I don't need the last word tonight I smile when I'm winning Don't confuse it with forgiving Nice doesn't mean naïve No, nice doesn't mean naïve [Bridge, stripped down with attitude] I don't throw drinks I don't slam doors I don't check phones I don't keep score I just remember Every little thing So go ahead... Tell me that story again. [Final Chorus] Nice doesn't mean naïve I saw the ending from the beginning You can keep your little games I already know who's winning You can tell yourself I bought it If it helps you sleep at night I smile when I'm winning Don't confuse it with forgiving Nice doesn't mean naïve I'm nice... not stupid.
