A pretty girl, a pretty girl   Can walk anywhere   All doors open for her   Like a breath of fresh air,   Her beauty, it precedes her   Wrapped in her beauty,   Everywhere, she is welcome   First class on the plane,   Closed door of the club,   All faces turn, all faces turn   And they come alive,   With a desire to protect her   Nothing can interfere   With a dream of dreams so near   And when she caught my eye,   We were those for whom   The rules do not apply.      Chorus:      Pretty girl young man old man   Man with a gun   Two people in love (Two people in love)   The rules do not apply   To people in love   Pretty girl young man old man   Man with a gun   Two people in love (Two people in love)   The rules do not apply   To people in love      On a wire, a high wire   She likes to balance on a knife   She says on the wire,   That is living, oh,   You can forget the rest   On the wire, that is living,   Each step must be in place   So don't look down,   One false move is all it takes.   We'd rather risk it all;   Roll the dice and let them fall   They say we can't survive   But a life like this keeps me alive   Doesn't matter where we are,   I still say the rules do not apply      Chorus
