Testi Rules of the Road - Tony Bennett

Rules of the Road

So these are the ropes,\nThe tricks of the trade,\nThe rules of the road.\nYou’re one of the dopes\nFor whom they were made,\nThe rules of the road.\nYou follow that kiss and recklessly miss\nA bend of the road,\nThen suddenly this--\nThe end of the road.\nSo love is a hoax,\nA glittering stream\nOf little white lies.\nBut these are the jokes,\nAnd what if they bring\nThe tears to your eyes?\nWell, love often shows a funny return.\nThe brighter it glows,\nThe longer you burn.\nAnd lord only knows\nLove has little concern for the fools of the road.\nBut that’s how it goes,\nYou live and you learn,\nThe rules of the road.\nBut that’s how it goes,\nYou live and you learn,\nThe rules of the road.\nAnd everyone knows that that’s how it goes,\nThe rules of the road.
