Rules

Love was meant to be loving

So many times we don't give, we take

Love has really no conception to this rule

Days you gave me were numbered

And as a rule they were hard to take

All it took was the number of a fool

Rules were made to be broken

So many hearts break the same way too, aw baby

I said that you ain't no exception to the rule, yes sir

Your answer begging my question

It seems I left you too late to ask

Was this really your intention

From the start

The nights you left me are empty, baby

As for the answer, they changed the past

I tried to let you explain your change of heart

How could you change your mind

Rules were made to be broken

So many hearts break the same way too, aw honey

I said that you ain't no exception to the rule

How could they say

It would be better this way... without you

When by the usual rules

I kept presuming that you would stay, baby

So many hearts break the same way too, now mister

I said that you ain't no exception to the rule

You...

Gonna get on my bad heart

Just like everybody asks you

You've gotta help baby

You've gotta help me convert, too

You better hear what I'm tellin' you
