Playing By the Rules

I can read between the lines Much more astute than some This pretty package has a brain And will not easily succumb There is a lot that’s left unsaid Or the answers don’t suffice I wasn’t just born yesterday You must be more precise What is it that you’re hiding? What is up your sleeve? Do you think that I don’t notice? This is bordering on deceit I don’t play by all the rules This surface has not been scratched Look closer at what you’re toying with I think you’ve met your match So if you want to fence with me Draw your sword and take your stance I’ll be your best opponent You may have a sporting chance Do you want to play this game? Or do you want truce? I can play it either way But I think that you need to choose I will not fall down at your feet Won’t hang on every word You aren’t saying anything That I haven’t already heard There are plenty out there Who will fall for all your lines But baby I’m not one of them It’s a total waste of time
