Lyrics
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 string
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
But that's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the road
And everyone knows that
That's how it goes
The rules of the road
