Only a Fool Plays by the Rules - Chris Rea

She come on like a whorehouse

All painted in lipstick red

She had some kind of making

You believe everything she said

She said guilt and confusion

It’s just an illusion

Only a fool plays by the rules

Only a fool plays by the rules

Stick with me baby

Try to look cool

Cos only a fool plays by the rules

She show me things that I never, ever seen saw

She took me way past my red light

Showed me what the night was for

Guilt and confusion

Now I know it’s just an illusion

Only a fool plays by the rules

Only a fool plays by the rules

Stick with me baby

Try to stay cool

Only a fool plays by the rules
