NOT TODAY JB Fleet | Romantic Country Duet [Intro – Male Spoken Only, Deep Warm Baritone, Soft Acoustic Guitar] My buddies always told me, “Girls don’t want the good guy. You gotta be a little dangerous, A little hard to get.” Well… I figured I’d give it a shot. [Verse 1 – Male Solo, Deep Country Baritone] Walked into that bar on a Friday night, Boots shined up, had my story right. Wore a crooked grin like I owned the place, Threw out bad lines with a poker face. Saw you sitting there with those blue eyes shining, Thought I’d try my luck with some smooth-talking. Pulled up a chair, said, “Girl, what’s your sign?” You laughed and said, “Is that your best line?” Tried playing cool, tried acting tough, But five minutes in, I’d had enough. [Pre-Chorus – Male Solo, Vulnerable] Looked at my boots and shook my head, Took one last breath and finally said… [Chorus 1 – Male Solo, Emotional Country Vocal] Listen, that ain’t me, I’m tired of being someone I can’t be. I still hold doors, still say yes ma’am, Still believe in forever and holding hands. I don’t play games, don’t love halfway, I’m looking for someone who’s gonna stay. They say the good guys always finish last, Guess I’m just a fool for believing that. [Instrumental Break – Guitar Fades, Quiet Bar Ambience] [Male Spoken – Quiet, Embarrassed] “I’m sorry. I just wanted you to like me.” [Sound Effect – Chair Sliding, Footsteps Toward Door] [Female Spoken – Soft, Calling Out] “Hey…” [Male Spoken – Turning Around] “Yeah?” [Female Spoken – Warm, Curious] “Who told you good guys finish last?” [Male Spoken – Nervous Laugh] “Pretty much everybody.” [Female Spoken – Tender, After a Pause] “Well…” [One Piano Note – Brief Silence] “Not today.” [Instrumental Swell – Piano, Strings, Acoustic Guitar] [Verse 2 – Female Solo, Warm Expressive Country Alto] I’ve had the fast cars and polished lies, Midnight promises and long goodbyes. Heard every line beneath these neon lights, From boys who disappeared by morning light. But when you turned and walked away, Something in your honesty made me stay. You didn’t push, didn’t beg or plead, You showed me the kind of heart I need. [Pre-Chorus – Female Solo, Sweet and Inviting] So come on back, pull that chair up close, There’s something about you I wanna know. [Chorus 2 – Female Lead Only, Romantic and Melodic] Good guys don’t finish last, Not when they find a love that’s built to last. The right heart knows, the right heart sees, The kind of man you’re brave enough to be. I don’t need trouble, don’t need fast, Don’t need another love that won’t last. They may have told you all your life, Good guys finish last… But not tonight. [Bridge – Spoken Conversation, Instruments Soft] [Male Spoken – Deep Baritone] “So you’re saying I don’t have to pretend?” [Female Spoken – Gentle Alto] “I’m saying you can stop pretending with me.” [Male Spoken – Nervous Smile] “Well, hello beautiful. My name’s…” [Female Spoken – Laughing] “I know. You told me twice.” [Male Spoken – Chuckling] “Guess I’m not very good at playing cool.” [Female Spoken – Playful] “Good. I’ve had enough of cool.” [Male Solo – Softly Sung] Could I take you dancing sometime? [Female Solo – Sweetly Sung] How about you take my hand tonight? [Instrumental Build – Drums Enter, Strings Rise] [Final Chorus – Alternating Male and Female Leads] [Male Solo – Powerful, Emotional] I thought the world had passed me by, Trying to be a man I couldn’t recognize. [Female Solo – Tender, Rising] I wasn’t looking for a reckless heart, Just someone who’d stay when the hard days start. [Duet – Male and Female Together, Rich Harmonies] Good guys don’t finish last, When they find a love that’s built to last. Let ’em chase the lights, let ’em chase the past, We found forever in a second chance. [Male Solo] One honest word… [Female Solo] One open heart… [Duet – Together] One outstretched hand and a brand-new start! [Male Solo – Emotional] They told me good guys finish last… [Female Solo – Powerful, Loving] But baby, not this time! [Final Chorus – Full Male and Female Duet, Soaring Harmonies] Good guys don’t finish last, They just wait for a love that’s meant to last. When the right one comes along, You find the place where you belong. [Male Solo] I spent my life believing that… [Female Solo] Well, baby, you can forget all that. [Duet – Together, Big Emotional Finish] They said the good guys finish last… NOT TODAY! [Outro – Acoustic Guitar and Soft Piano, Bar Ambience] [Male Spoken – Playful, Deep Voice] “So… can I buy you a drink?” [Female Spoken – Teasing] “You can buy me dinner.” [Male Spoken] “Tomorrow?” [Female Spoken] “Tonight.” [Male Spoken – Laughing] “Guess good guys don’t always finish last.” [Female Spoken – Intimate Whisper] “Not today.” [Duet – Both Softly Sung] Good guys don’t finish last… Not today. [End – Final Acoustic Guitar Chord]
