"No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" lyrics
No good deed goes unpunished
When it starts to unravel on you
You think the person is gonna be sorry
And they're gonna take the time to say thank you
Booked her to the top restaurant table
But she said she didn't like the meal
I got her tickets for the opera
But she complained about the VIP seats
Gave her a million Euro
Said that it wasn't enough
How come when she's still fit and able
She's still too lazy to go out and work
No amount is enough for her
I feel the emptiness inside
It's the greed and everything she needs
But she'll never be satisfied
No simple rule you're missing
There's no such thing as a free lunch
Someone had to work a while and get it
And everything has got a price
Remember this one simple piece of advice
That everybody should know
Everything has got its price
You've got to reap just what you sow
Gave you a million Euros
Said that it wasn't enough
How come when you're still fit and able
You're too lazy to go out and work
No good deed goes unpunished
When it starts to unravel on you
No good deed goes unpunished
No matter what good you try to do
No good deed goes unpunished
You'll find out when it happens to you
No good deed goes unpunished
No matter what good you try to do
Oh, no matter what good you try to do
Oh, no matter what good you try to do
Oh, no matter what good you try to do
When it starts to unravel on you
You think the person is gonna be sorry
And they're gonna take the time to say thank you
Booked her to the top restaurant table
But she said she didn't like the meal
I got her tickets for the opera
But she complained about the VIP seats
Gave her a million Euro
Said that it wasn't enough
How come when she's still fit and able
She's still too lazy to go out and work
No amount is enough for her
I feel the emptiness inside
It's the greed and everything she needs
But she'll never be satisfied
No simple rule you're missing
There's no such thing as a free lunch
Someone had to work a while and get it
And everything has got a price
Remember this one simple piece of advice
That everybody should know
Everything has got its price
You've got to reap just what you sow
Gave you a million Euros
Said that it wasn't enough
How come when you're still fit and able
You're too lazy to go out and work
No good deed goes unpunished
When it starts to unravel on you
No good deed goes unpunished
No matter what good you try to do
No good deed goes unpunished
You'll find out when it happens to you
No good deed goes unpunished
No matter what good you try to do
Oh, no matter what good you try to do
Oh, no matter what good you try to do
Oh, no matter what good you try to do
