(Cy Coleman/Carolyn Leigh) |
|
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 |
|
It hurts heaven knows |
|
You burn to learn |
|
The rules of the road |
