You Didn't Have Be So Nice Songtext
von Astrud Gilberto

You didn′t have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it′s true

You came upon a quiet day
You simply seemed to take your place
I knew that it would be that way
The minute that I saw your face


You know, I have to thank you
Because you did a good job
I'm proud of you
Yeah
You liked it?
Yeah
I like it twice as much as you do

When we've had a few more days
I wonder if I′ll get to say
You didn′t have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it′s true

You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way
