Astrud Gilberto - You Didn't Have To Be So Nice Lyrics

Astrud Gilberto Lyrics

"You Didn't Have To Be So Nice"

You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true

You came upon a quiet day
You simply seemed to take your place
I knew that it would be that way
The minute that I saw your face

You know, I have to thank you because you did a good job, I'm proud of you
Yeah
Do you like it?
Yeah
It was as much as you too

And when we've had a few more days
I wonder if I'll get to say
You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true

You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way
