Rachel:
When I was younger, I saw, my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart, as I watched
As he tried to reassemble it,
And my momma swore
She would never let herself forget,
And that was the day that I promised
I’d never sing of love, if it does not exist

But, darling,
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Rachel with Mercedes, Quinn and Santana:
Maybe I'd know, somewhere
Deep in my soul that love never lasts,
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone, keep a straight face,

And I've always lived like this,
Keeping a comfortable distance,
And up until now I had sworn to myself that
I’m content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Rachel:
Oooh, oh, heeey,ooh

Rachel:
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can’t let go of what’s in front of me here
I know you’re leaving In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream

Ooh oh ooh oh

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Mercedes, Santana, and Quinn:
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Rachel with Mercedes, Santana, and Quinn:
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
And I’m on my way to believing

Rachel:
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing
