Rules

Rules (LP版) - Anita Baker

Written by：Ryder Maggie/Lamb Graeme/Nichol Phil

Love was meant to be loving

So many times we don't give

We take love

Has really no conception up 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

Both are mine to be

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

Both are mine to be

So many hearts break the same way too

Aw honey

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

Now tell me

How could you say

It would be better this way

Without you

When by the usual rules

I kept presuming that you would stay

With me baby

Both are mine to be

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 telling you

You left your lie yeah

Cause left lone can you

Cause left it lone to you know
