FUCK THE RULES

Some girls I know will say,
“I love the book The Rules
I follow it all day
It’s just like mating school!”

Now what I know of this
Your feelings you don’t bare
The first date you don’t kiss
You never show you care

When a guy digs a chick
he just invades her space
But when we feel lovesick
we have to keep our place?

This is the means and ends
The goal:  To be a wife
I say to all these girls
Please, let’s all get a life

If I would find myself
a servant to The Rules
Push me back on the shelf
like useless costume jewels

If a man needs a game
to make a commitment
Could our love be the same?
For me it’s gonna be different

I have to be myself
Simple, wild and free
And if I’m by myself
then it was meant to be

When I’m on a mountain
and look out over fields
I feel a contentment
I feel at peace and real
and if a man can give me that
then he’s got a pretty good deal

I find the mountains very cool
and they are my only “Rule”
