I'll tell you about the kind of man that I used to be
A doormat that's what I was you could wipe your feet on me
Yeah that was my reality
Just like my father I was always pushed around
Then one day I met a wiseman and he sat me down
His words were simple and profound he said

(chorus)
No more Mr. Nice Guy

That doesn't work you see
No more Mr. Nice Guy

Stand up for yourself hold on to your dignity

Well it took a lot of practice I had my ups and downs
But you know what the fact is I finally got it down
I learned to stand my ground
And it's true not everybody likes the man I am today
Because I'm no longer easy to manipulate
And quite frankly that's okay because it's

(chorus)

No more Mr. Nice Guy

That doesn't work you see
No more Mr. Nice Guy

Stand up for yourself hold on to your dignity

(bridge)
No more Mr. Nice Guy just to keep the peace
No more Mr. Nice Guy guaranteed
No more Mr. Nice Guy out of necessity
I've set my limits got my boundaries
No more Mr. Nice Guy no more indignities
No more insults no more injuries
No more Mr. Nice Guy not since I got smart
I swear I'll finish anything you start
No more Mr. Nice Guy that's why I wrote this song
So long Mr. Nice Guy so long
