Too many rights and wrongs
That just can't be explained away
So full of bitterness
This empty feeling is here to stay
Your life comes tumbling down
And you wait for the phone to ring
Don't be so miserable
Self-pity won't change a thing
Rule one, don't walk with someone new
Rule two, don't ever disagree
Rule three, don't let the other person know how much you need them
These are the rules of love
They're broken and abused
These are the rules of love
Though I remain confused
These are the rules of love
Don't break the rules of...
You should have been prepared
You should have known it could never last
No turning back the clock
There's no time to retrace the past
Rule one, don't walk with someone new
Rule two, don't ever disagree
Rule three, don't let the other person know how much you need them
These are the rules of love
They're broken and abused
These are the rules of love
Though I remain confused
These are the rules of love
Don't break the rules of love
Rules of love x2
Don't break the rules of love
