The Volunteers - Nicer Lyrics

My boyfriend hates
When I smell the other guys
I'm like "Who are they?"
He doesn't really let me open my heart
To anyone, so don't I

I am a quiet talker
Sensitive lover
But when he has no guts
I could shoot with a gun
When I'm in hunger
I bite him into pieces

You would want to be
A better existence, better shadow
Or better listener
You would have to be
Much nicer to everyone you know
But I can't, I can't

You would want to be
A better existence, better shadow
Or better listener
You would have to be
Much nicer to everyone you know
But I can't, I can't

My momma hates it when I deny
That she was good to me in my childhood
I wasn't really a hugger
But a kisser to some guys
But I don't with my family

Am I a nice girl
As a daughter
Do you recognize her?
You might be the same as her
A disappointment, invisible one
Yourself

You would want to be
A better existence, better shadow
Or better listener
You would have to be
Much nicer to everyone you know
But I can't, I can't

I've always been my own weakness
Myself, me as anything
I've always been my own weakness
'Cause my love never had faith
In me and says

You would want to be
A better existence, better shadow
Or better listener
You would have to be
Much nicer to everyone you know
But I can't, I can't

You would want to be
You would have to be
