Can't Make Love Lyrics
Well, I can't make love
To the girls in this city
'Cause the girls
Say I will use them
And I won't go out
With girls because
Girls will fall in love with you
Everybody's lonely, that's true
Maybe it's psychology
I don't know, I gotta move someplace
I can't make love
To the girls in this city
'Cause the girls
Say I will use them
And I won't go out
With girls because
Girls will fall in love with you
Everybody's lonely, that's true
Maybe it's psychology
I don't know, I gotta move someplace
Where the girls are easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And the girls are so easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And it seems so easy
But I can't say the words that are on my mind
"I'm a nice guy but I don't love you --
I just wanna sleep with you."
"I'm a nice guy but I don't love you --
I just wanna sleep with you."
Well, I can't make love
To the boys in this city
'Cause the boys
Say I will use them
And I won't go out
With boys because
Boys will fall in love with you
Everybody's lonely, that's true
Maybe it's psychology
I don't know, I gotta move someplace
Where the boys are easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And the girls are so easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And everybody's so easy
But I can't say the words that are on my mind
"I'm a nice guy but I don't love you --
I just wanna sleep with you."
"I'm a nice guy but I don't love you --
I just wanna sleep with you."
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
I'm a nice guy...
To the girls in this city
'Cause the girls
Say I will use them
And I won't go out
With girls because
Girls will fall in love with you
Everybody's lonely, that's true
I don't know, I gotta move someplace
To the girls in this city
'Cause the girls
Say I will use them
And I won't go out
With girls because
Girls will fall in love with you
Everybody's lonely, that's true
I don't know, I gotta move someplace
Where the girls are easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And the girls are so easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And it seems so easy
But I can't say the words that are on my mind
I just wanna sleep with you."
"I'm a nice guy but I don't love you --
I just wanna sleep with you."

Of course you are. Aren't we all?
It's the ultimate Nice Guy song. Wall of Voodoo predicted Incel Culture before Incel Culture was (probably) a thing...
It's ultimately about a man who just wants to be 'respected' and 'loved' but falls short because he only wants to date women to just have sex with them. He think's it's something to do with his head (Psychology) and decides on moving to another town where he might be accepted... And so, he moves on where the girls there will be 'easy'.
Dunno if it was a good / bad thing they didn't have the internet for these people to rant their desires about...
