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

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

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

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

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