Angry Johnny And The Killbillies – The Creep Lyrics

I wish I had been that creep that you
wanted me to be
I wish I would've cheated and lied
If only I had been that creep that you
wanted me to be
You'd still be here by my side
(chorus) But nice guys finish last,
it's a cliché but it's true
The good guys always get the shaft,
they never get the girl like you
I should've tried a little harder,
but I didn't know the game
My mom and daddy raised me right so I guess
they're part to blame
I should've treated you like you treated me when
you tore my heart in tow
You should have stayed a little longer
You could have taught me how to lie
We could have been the perfect couple I am sure
I would've been your favorite creep, I would've
been your perfect guy
I would've been what you hate living life most for
(chorus)
I wish I had been that creep that
wanted me to be
I wish I would've cheated and lied
If only I had been that creep that you
wanted me to be
You'd still be here by my side
