One, two, one, two, three, four ♪ I could live without so many things I don't need to drink no more I don't need to sleep no more Than three or four hours And if I didn't have to talk to no one else I'd be fine by myself With one exception to the rule I could walk the snow without my shoes I don't need to sing the blues Or keep searching for clues About how you're feeling And I don't even need to be your only man Just love me when you can One day I'll understand I'm under your command And I could go for days and days Darling, you would be amazed At all the tiny tragedies We drive right by and No matter what I say or what I do There's only one thing true You're the exception to the rule ♪ I don't need to be on this plane or in this car I've been both near and far Pretending to be a big star And never believing it I could walk the block right by your side Our whole world a mile awide Until the day we died No, darling don't you cry And I could go for years and years Darling, what I really fear is All the broken people That we pay no mind to No matter what I say or what I do There's only one thing true And you're the exception to the rule ♪ And I could go forevermore Maybe we open a general store In some small town Where no one could find us No matter what I say or what I do I can't live without you 'Cause you're the exception to the rule
