Rule Number One Lyrics

From What You Whispered

Could be the one, could be tonight
A love that would feel so right
You look in his eyes, he pours the wine
They shine in the candlelight
Its easy to laugh, easy to smile
Except when the service was slow
Then he was cruel, suddenly mean
Not like the man you know

If he's rude to the waiter and it makes your heart confused
This is lesson # 1 ...Run

Get up and run, don't walk, don't wait
Rule #1 don't hesitate, your date is done... Run

Look, this is a gift, this is a deal
Pay for the taxi back home
Its fare for the lift, fair for the meal
Return like warrior
What have you lost? Except for a dream,
A dream that would shatter like bone
Its better to run and get away clean
Than pay for the lawyer
If he's rude to the waiter and it makes your heart confused
This is lesson # 1 ...Run

Get up and run, don't walk, don't wait
Rule #1 don't hesitate, your date is done... Run
Get up and run, don't walk, don't wait
Rule #1 don't hesitate, your date is done... Run
