Joe Brooks - Rules Of Attraction Lyrics

No I don't know much
But the one thing I do
Is that love
Oh, love's heard all touched
Her jealous roots
And you're the flower
In a bed we're born to lose

Oh, why
Oh, why
Oh, why
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
Oh, I know 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, yeah

Oh, yeah

Lies feed from lust
And it's poisonous fruit
And baby you, oh
You can't help but love
It's shallow in juice
There's so much you'll never see
'Cause you can't see through

Oh, why
Oh, why
Oh, why
I need exception
From the rules of attraction, yeah
'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
Oh, I know 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, yeah
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
I, can't you see the life you're living on has you
Lying and cheating, hurting, deceiving
I, oh yeah, yeah

Oh, when it comes to you
