The Rules Of The Road

So these are the ropes

The tricks of the trade

The rules of the road



You're one of the dopes

For whom they were made

The rules of the road



You follow that kiss

And recklessly miss

A bend of the road



Then suddenly this

The end of the road



So love is a hoax

A glittering stream

Of little white lies



But these are the jokes

And what if they bring

The tears to your eyes?



Well, love often shows

A funny return

The brighter it glows

The longer you burn



And Lord only knows

Love has little concern

For the fools of the road



But that's how it goes

You live and you learn

The rules of the road



But that's how it goes

You live and you learn

The rules of the road



And everyone knows

That that's how it goes

The rules of the road
