about

This is YLP style doo-wop, with a little touch of Spector-esque "wall of sound". Becky sings this one beautifully while Cingi does the harmonies.

Cingi on Taylor 12 string, Mellotron, Orchestral arr., backing vocals including the Bass guy.

lyrics

I've never slow-danced on Valentine's Day
And I've never looked that good getting caught in the rain
I've never kissed a man when the clocks chime midnight
Nobody's ever asked me, "Hey, can I offer you a ride?"

But who's to say
It can't happen any day?
Well, rules, they must be obeyed.

David, this ain't no love song, you know
It's just a way I can pour my heart out on the floor
For you, ooh
Ah, aah

You've never walked a girl down those old Parisian streets
You've never bought her flowers, no, never swept her off her feet
You've always been the type to keep your nose in the books
But Marlon Brando ain't got nothin' on your looks

What a fool, they'll say,
But it don't matter anyway
'Cause rules, they must be obeyed

David, this ain't no love song, you know
It's just a way I can pour my heart out on the floor
For you, ooh
Ah, aah

A thousand nights I cried
Without you by my side
But your flowers still bloom
Without you in the room

I see you standing there
You need some love and care
But I know, but I know it's too late

You're not the kind of guy who gets himself in a fix
No, you're not the kind of guy who would fall for my tricks
So, I guess I'll never take you down old Lovers' Lane
No, and I guess I'll never break you down with heartache, jealousy, and pain

But who's to say
It can't happen any day
But rules, they must be obeyed

David, this ain't no love song, you know
It's just a way I can pour my heart out on the floor
For you, ooh
Ah, aah

David, this ain't no love song, you know
It's just a way I can pour my heart out on the floor
For you, ooh
Ah, aah
