Nice Guys
Chester See Kevjumba & Ryan Higa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nice guys finish last that′s why I'll treat you like trash
It′s not what I really
Want to do
But you only date bad guys, so I'll give it my best try to treat you the way you want
Me to

I'll never open a door or pull out a chair, you can tell me how your day was but I
Don′t really care
And if you ever get cold, you′ll just have to hack it 'cause I′ll be cold to if I gave
You my jacket

Like, woah, you ain't sittin′ up front
Front is for the homies you can sit in the trunk
I'll never answer my phone whenever you call it and when the waiter brings the bill
I′ll never reach for my wallet

Nice guys finish last that's why I'll treat you like trash, it′s not what I really
Want to do
But you only date bad guys so I′ll give it my best try to treat you the way you want
Me to

And I'ma beat you
In every competition
Going out with the girls you better get my permission
Wait no, I take that back, you can′t go, house is on tonight and that's my favorite show

Do I look fat in this dress?
Hell yeah you do, wait let me speak your language
Cow′s go moo, moo, moo, moo

Nice guys finish last that's why I′ll treat you like trash, it's not what I really want to do
Oh, oh, you only date bad guys so I'll give it my best try to treat you the way you want me to

But behind the scenes, she means the world to me, I wanna tell her that she′s beautful
And show her that she′s loved
Hold her hand when she's scared, tell her how much I care
But that won′t win her heart, because





Nice guys finish last that's why I′ll treat you like trash, it's not what I really want to do
Ohh, you only date bad guys so I′ll give it my best try to treat you the way you want me to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Nice Guys" by Chester See, Kevjumba, and Ryan Higa are a sarcastic and satirical commentary on the idea that only "bad guys" get the girl. The song opens with the statement that "nice guys finish last" and then goes on to describe all the terrible things the singer will do in order to win the girl's affections, such as refusing to open doors or pull out chairs, never answering her phone calls, and refusing to pay for anything. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is treating the girl badly on purpose, because she only dates "bad guys."


However, the bridge of the song reveals that the singer actually does care about the girl and wants to be with her. This creates a juxtaposition between the sarcastic and bitter tone of the rest of the song and the singer's true feelings. Ultimately, the message seems to be that being a "nice guy" is not a guarantee of romantic success, but that doesn't mean it's not still worth being a good person.


Overall, "Nice Guys" is a playful and tongue-in-cheek exploration of the idea that women are only attracted to "bad boys" and that being a "nice guy" is a recipe for loneliness. The lyrics are full of irony and sarcasm, and the song is a clever commentary on the complexities of love and attraction.
