I’m the Exception to the Rule Songtext
von The Temptations

(Each day you′ve got someone new)
(A new heart to break and leave feeling blue)
(Fortunate are you for you're a beautiful girl)
(Guys 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, girl
Of a guy 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


You tell me darling, that′s, that's where you′re wrong
That your love for me is so strong
It will soon, very soon, make me give in
And girl, I know that nine guys out of every ten

I know they want ya, they want you to be their woman
But take a look, take a good look
There, there I am, there I am again, that one in ten

So it's useless for you to try and change me, rearrange me
Girl, because I won′t give in, my friend
You can fool all the guys with those lines
About you being so sweet and kind
But oh no, no no, not me
I'm the exception to the rule (give it up)

I'm one guy you can′t fool (Give it up)
No matter what you say or what you do (give it up)
Girl, I′m that one guy you can't fool
