[Verse 1: Lemmy Kilmister]

When I was young

I was the nicest guy I knew

I thought I was the chosen one

But time went by

And I found out a thing or two

My shine wore off as time wore on


[Chorus: Lemmy Kilmister & Ozzy Osbourne]

I thought that I was living

Out the perfect life

But in the lonely hours

When the truth begins to bite

I thought about the times

When I turned my back and stalled

I ain't no nice guy after all


[Verse 2: Lemmy Kilmister & Ozzy Osbourne]

When I was young

I was the nicest guy in town

I thought I had it down for sure

But time went by

And I was lost in what I found

The reasons blurred, the way unsure


[Chorus: Lemmy Kilmister & Ozzy Osbourne]

I thought that I was living

Life the only way

But I saw that life was

More than day to day

I turned around

I read the writing on the wall

I ain't no nice guy after all

I ain't no nice guy after all


[Verse 3: Lemmy Kilmister & Ozzy Osbourne]

In all the years you spent

Between your birth and death

You find there's lots of times

When you should have saved your breath

It comes as quite a shock

When that trip leads to the fall

I ain't no nice guy after all

I ain't no nice guy after all

[Bridge: Lemmy Kilmister & Ozzy Osbourne]

When I was young

I was the nicest guy I knew

I thought I was the chosen one

But time went by and

I found out a thing or two

My shine wore off as time wore on


[Chorus: Lemmy Kilmister & Ozzy Osbourne]

I thought that I was living

Out the perfect life

But in the lonely hours

When the moon's the only light

I thought about the times

I turned my back and stalled

I ain't no nice guy after all

I ain't no nice guy after all
