The Rules

"The Rules"
By: Ben Kweller

[Verse 1]
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 be
I need direction, oh please

[Chorus]
Show me all the rules, girl
I just want to get'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to belong

[Pre-Verse]
But first I'm gonna sing my song

[Verse 2]
I try to do, what is right
I try to win, without a fight
But time and time, I turn around
To that gun, on the ground
I try to seek, more than this
A nice smile, a wet kiss
Don't wanna miss, what I'm looking for
But its behind, your door

[Chorus]
Show me all the rules, girl
I just want to get'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to belong

Whoo!

[Solo]

[Chorus] 4x for outro
Show me all the rules, girl
I just want to get'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to belong
