The Rules - Ben Kweller

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 freeze, I need direction, aww please…

Show me all the rules girl

I just want to get 'em wrong

Show me all the rules girl

I just want to belong

First I’m gonna sing my song

I try to do what is right

I try to win without a fight

From time to 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 want to miss what I’m looking for

But it’s behind your door

Show me all the rules girl

I just want to get 'em wrong

Show me all the rules girl

I just want to belong
