The Exception Proves The Rule Songtext / Lyric

IT'S TRUE IT ISN'T EASY
TO CONVINCE ME OF YOUR HONESTY.
'CAUSE WHEN I LAY IN THE CRADLE
I MISTRUSTED ANYONE BUT ME.
SINCE THEN THERE WAS ONLY
A LITTLE CHANCE TO MAKE ME FEEL ALRIGHT.
LET ME LEARN. GIVE ME LESSONS.
LET ME KNOW THAT THE EXCEPTION PROVES THE RULE.

IT'S TRUE IT ISN'T EASY.
TO CONVINCE ME OF YOUR SYMPATHY.
I'D CALL THE POLICE IF YOU SAID
THAT YOU ONLY WANT THE BEST FOR ME.

ONE THING IS CERTAIN.
IF IT GOES ON LIKE THIS I'LL STAY ALONE.
LET ME LEARN. GIVE ME LESSONS.
LET ME KNOW THAT THE EXCEPTION PROVES THE RULE.
