Hello Mr. Nice Guy

Woman Recovering from Bad Boy Addiction

A.M. Morgan
I've heard about you
But I was afraid of our initial acquaintance
I've grown use to breakups
Simply thinking love is overrated
I've wished on a thousand stars
Passed you by in disregard
But now I want to get to know you

Hello Mr. Nice Guy
I can see the look of frustration in your eyes.
Everybody says that they want to meet you.
But let me be the first to say,
It would be a pleasure
Because I need you.

My infatuation with bad boys has died
I am tired of wiping tears from my eyes
My mother once told me
Measure a man beyond superficial means
The underdog may be more then he seems

Hello Mr. Nice Guy
I can see the look of frustration in your eyes.
Everybody says that they want to meet you.
But let me be the first to say,
It would be a pleasure
Because I need you.

This time you don't finish last
My heart welcomes you
Show me who you are is all I ask
Please forgive me for overlooking you in the past

Hello Mr. Nice Guy.
I can see the look of frustration in your eyes.
Everybody says that they want to meet you.
But let me be the first to say,
It would be a pleasure
Because I need you.

    very well done. you know women can say one thing but is it what they really mean. is not easy for a nice guy to meet the right woman, and if he thinks he has ; maybe he really hasnt.

    Yes, A.M. I just may nominate this for one of those PMA awards I've been hearing about. Have been betrothed here in Saginaw for 27 years, but still remember my young adult years and wondering if any lady would ever like me. It was like, "nice" is boring. And I didn't think I was boring by being nice, but prospects sometimes seemed dim. My clone from back then would be asking you for a date! -- Mike

    Cool, but in what sense of the word "nice" do you mean? Bad boys can be nice too. I like the poem.
