Lyrics I'm The Exception To The Rule - The Velvelettes

I'm The Exception To The Rule

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
Oh, I know you think that I’m just acting the part
Yes, you do
I’m a girl with a 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
I know that nine girls out of every ten
Want you to be with them
But there I am again, that one in ten
So it’s useless for you to try to change me, rearrange me
Baby, because I won’t give in, my friend
You can fool all the girls with those lines
About you being so sweet and kind
But oh no, (oh no), not me
I’m the exception to the rule (Give it up!)
I’m one girl you can’t fool (Give it up!)
I’m the exception to the rule (Give it up!)
No matter what you might do (Give it up!)
I’m the exception to the rule
