As I looked across to where she was before
I didn’t have long to wait around here anymore
We went to a place that I hadn’t seen before
She worked me over then she went away

Well, she looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She’s no exception to the rule

As I carried on looking here and there
I couldn’t believe she worked it out and it worked on me
I guessed early on but it didn’t click inside
She knew my weakness and she knew my name

Well, she looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She’s no exception to the rule

As I carried on looking here and there
I couldn’t believe she worked it out and it worked on me
We went to a place that I hadn’t seen before
She worked me over then she went away

Well, she looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She’s no exception to the rule
