Lyrics Ben Kweller – The Rules
Text:
Years ago I lost my guard.
Ever since it’s been hard
Standing up like a man, like a father,
Understand that all I do
Is not enough for myself.
I am tough on myself.
I need to freeze, I need direction, aw please…
I am tough on myself.
I need to freeze, I need direction, aw please…
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to get ’em wrong
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to belong.
First I’m gonna sing my song
I try to do what is right,
I try to win without a fight.
From time to time I turn around
To their gun on the ground.
I try to seek more than this…
A nice smile, a wet kiss.
Don’t want to miss what I’m looking for,
But it’s behind your door.
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to get ’em wrong
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to belong.
