The Only Exception by Paramore is featured in Britney/Brittany, the second episode of Season Two. It is sung by Rachel with Mercedes, Quinn and Santana as back-up. Rachel sings this song as an apology to Finn for making him choose between her and football. During the performance, it shows her looking at Finn in the hallways, talking to Brittany and Santana, but he ditches the two girls for Rachel, which makes her smile. Mercedes, Quinn and Santana assist her with back-up in The Choir Room as they watch her sing. It also shows Will getting his old car back and watching Carl and Emma with a sad expression. It's the only song in the episode that doesn't follow the Britney Spears theme, much to Will's delight. It is also Rachel's second solo for the episode, the first being Baby One More Time. LYRICS: 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
