So these are the ropes
The tricks of the trade
The rules of the roadYou're one of the dopes
For whom they were made
The rules of the roadYou follow that kiss
And recklessly miss
A bend of the roadThen suddenly this
The end of the roadSo love is a hoax
A glittering stream
Of little white liesBut 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 burnAnd Lord only knows
Love has little concern
For the fools of the roadBut that's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the roadBut that's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the roadAnd everyone knows
That that's how it goes
The rules of the road
