Lyrics for I'm The Exception To The Rule
(Each day you've got someone new) (A new heart to break and leave feeling blue) (Fortunate are you for you're a beautiful girl) (Guys just can't pass you by) But I can, my friend I'm the exception to the rule Oh, I know you think that I'm just acting the part Yes, you do, girl Of a guy with a cold, cold heart And it won't take long For you to capture me With your innocent but meaningful plea But you won't capture me I'm the exception to the rule You tell me darling, that's, that's where you're wrong That your love for me is so strong It will soon, very soon, make me give in And girl, I know that nine guys out of every ten I know they want ya, they want you to be their woman But take a look, take a good look There, there I am, there I am again, that one in ten So it's useless for you to try and change me, rearrange me Girl, because I won't give in, my friend You can fool all the guys with those lines About you being so sweet and kind But oh no, no no, not me I'm the exception to the rule (give it up) I'm one guy you can't fool (Give it up) No matter what you say or what you do (give it up) Girl, I'm that one guy you can't fool
