The Rules Of The Road - Lena Horne

　　So these are the ropes

　　The tricks of the trade

　　The rules of the road

　　You're one of the dopes

　　For whom they were made

　　The rules of the road

　　You follow that kiss

　　And recklessly miss

　　A bend of the road

　　Then suddenly this

　　The end of the road

　　So love is a hoax

　　A glittering string

　　Of little white lies

　　But these are the jokes

　　And what if they bring

　　The tears to your eyes

　　Well love often shows a funny return

　　The brighter it glows

　　The longer you burn

　　And 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

　　Then suddenly this

　　The end of the road

　　So love is a hoax

　　A glittering string

　　Of little white lies

　　But these are the jokes

　　And what if they bring

　　The tears to your eyes

　　Well love often shows a funny return

　　The brighter it glows

　　The longer you burn

　　And 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

　　The rules of the road

　　The long long long road
