It Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Guy Lyrics

You stole the one I loved ain't that true
But I hear someone just did the same to you
She left you flat without a reason why
Well it couldn't happen to a nicer guy
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy
You've got what you deserved I'm not surprised
I hear you've been seen around with tears in your eyes
Well it couldn't happen to a nicer guy

You lost just what you stole ain't that true
You had it just long enough to catch the blues
I hear you've been rewarded her goodbye
Well it couldn't happen to a nicer guy
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy
You've got what you deserved I'm not surprised
I hear you've been seen around with tears in your eyes
Well it couldn't happen to a nicer guy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
