I'M THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE 

WRITERS NORMAN WHITFIELD, BARRETT STRONG





Each day you've got someone new

A new heart to break

And leave feeling blue

For you're a handsome guy

Girls just can't pass you by

But I can, my friend

I'm the exception to the rule

I know you think I'm just acting the part

Of the girl with the cold, cold heart

And it won't take long

For you to capture me

With your innocent but meaningful plea

But you won't capture me

I'm the exception to the rule

You tell me

Darling that's where you're wrong

That your love for me is oh so strong

That you will soon, very soon

Make me give in

I know that nine girls out of every ten

Wants you to be their man

But there I am again

That one in ten

So it's useless

For you to try and change me

Because I won't give in, my friend

You could fool all the girls

With your lies

About you being so sweet and kind

But oh no, not me

I'm the exception to the rule

Give it up

I'm the one you can't fool

I'm the one

I'm the exception to the rule

Give it up

I'm the one you can't fool

I'm the one

The exception to the rule

Give it up

I'm the one you can't fool

I'm the one

I'm the one you can't fool
