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
