Joe Brooks - Rules Of Attraction lyrics

rate me

<!-- start of lyrics -->

Now, I don't know much, but the one thing I do

Is that love, love's hurts all who've touched her jealous roots

And you're the flower in a bed where I'm born to lose

Oh I, oh I, oh I

I need exception from the rules of attraction

'cause I really, really, really can't accept them

You're so above me in the measure of beauty

And I don't think it's fair that that should stop me

I know that you'll never see the heart that beats underneath

That's why I need exception from the rules of attraction

When it comes to you

Lies feed from lust and its poisonous fruit

And baby, you, you can't help but love its shallow juice

There's so much you'll never see 'cause you can't see through

Oh I, oh I, oh I

I need exception from the rules of attraction

'cause I really, really, really can't accept them

You're so above me in the measure of beauty

And I don't think it's fair that that should stop me

I know that you'll never see the heart that beats underneath

That's why I need exception from the rules of attraction

When it comes to you

Oh, when it comes to you

Don't you know the path you're on is paved

With all the hearts you've been leaving broken and bleeding

And can't you see the life you're living only ends

With lying and cheating, hurt and deceiving

Oh, when it comes to you

Oh I, oh I, yeah

Oh I, oh I, yeah, oh
