The Rules Songtext
von Dave Monks

Listen Michelle
You may never come back
But why do you care
You′re a beautiful girl

And everyone seems to have found their sweetheart
Well I know you're starting to think
When everyone acts like they′re on a postcard
Why is it your heart that has to sink

Well I don't make the rules
I just play along
And I can't break the rules
Oh-hh

Michael I know
That she treated you bad
But don′t take it hard
She didn′t know what she had


And everyone's carving their name on a sidewalk
Well I know you′re feeling an ache
When everyone's words are nothing but sweet talk
Why is it your heart that has to break?

Well I don′t make the rules
I just play along
And you can't break the rules
I just sing my song
To the beat of the drum
I don′t know where it's comin' from
But I know how the rhythm goes
Yeah I know how the rhythm goes

Well I don′t make the rules
I just play along
And you can′t break the rules
Oh-hh

Well I don't make the rules
I just play along
And you can′t break the rules
But it won't be long

Yeah it won′t be long


Listen Michelle
You may never come back
But why do you care
You're a beautiful girl
