The Rules Of The Road by Nikka Costa Lyrics
So these are the ropes, the tricks of the trade
Rules of the road
You're one of the dopes for whom they were made
The rules of the road
Follow that kiss
And recklessly miss a bend in the road
Then suddenly this, the end of the road
So love is a hoax
A glittering string of little white lies
These are the jokes
And what if they bring tears to your eyes
Love often shows a funny return
The brighter it glows, the longer you burn
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
Yeah, that's how it goes
You live and you learn the rules of the road
Hey, yeah
So love is a hoax
A glittering string of little white lies
But these are the jokes
And what if they bring tears to your eyes
Love often shows a funny return
The brighter it glows, the longer you burn
And Lord only knows love has little concern
Lord only knows love has little concern
For the fools of the road
That's how it goes
You live and you learn the rules of the road
Oh, that's how it goes
You live and you learn rules of the road
Ooh yeah, hey
Rules of the road
You're one of the dopes for whom they were made
The rules of the road
Follow that kiss
And recklessly miss a bend in the road
Then suddenly this, the end of the road
So love is a hoax
A glittering string of little white lies
These are the jokes
And what if they bring tears to your eyes
Love often shows a funny return
The brighter it glows, the longer you burn
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
Yeah, that's how it goes
You live and you learn the rules of the road
Hey, yeah
So love is a hoax
A glittering string of little white lies
But these are the jokes
And what if they bring tears to your eyes
Love often shows a funny return
The brighter it glows, the longer you burn
And Lord only knows love has little concern
Lord only knows love has little concern
For the fools of the road
That's how it goes
You live and you learn the rules of the road
Oh, that's how it goes
You live and you learn rules of the road
Ooh yeah, hey
