about

This track was a last minute addition to the CD. I wrote it while we were recording. I played it for Mitch after a couple friends suggested I should. He loved it and we added it. This track features the fabulous Tim Bovaconti (Ron Sexsmith) on guitar.

lyrics

days like this I want
the courage
to keep pushing on
discouraged
if she's just a friend
why is the hiding?
Her car is parked next door
and I don't even care anymore

no more Mr. Nice Girl
trying hard to make it right girl
no more Mr. Nice Girl
you mistook kindness for weakness
gave me hell when I needed sweetness
no more Mr. Nice Girl

I just want to change
my number
why do you keep calling me
dragging me under
you want me back
you want what you can't have
I'm closing that door
cuz I don't even care anymore

no more Mr. Nice Girl
trying hard to make it right girl
no more Mr. Nice Girl
you mistook kindness for weakness
gave me hell when I needed sweetness
no more Mr. Nice Girl

take back your diamond ring
we both know it doesn't mean a thing
gonna cross on the don't walk sign
take my own hand, it's high time
my hearts no stepping stone
I'm not afraid to be alone

no more Mr. Nice Girl
trying hard to make it right girl
no more Mr. Nice Girl
you mistook kindness for weakness
gave me hell when I needed sweetness
no more Mr. Nice Girl
