You know the rules
I gotta let you go
Because only a fool
Falls in love, you know
I'm kicking you out
Because I don't want to make you
My fool
Now there are times, of course
When I feel all alone
But I've been a fool
To call someone my own
I'm kicking you out
Because I don't want to be
Your fool
I ain't your lighthouse
I ain't your isle
I see you out there paddling on your own
It'll do you good
To stay off the coast a little while
I ain't your lifeboat
But I'm not your shipwreck to be
Truth is, I been floating
I been lost out here at sea
So if you'll be my lifeline won't you
Call on me
