Rules Songtext
von Des’ree

A beautiful smile is the sweetest thing
Wraps you up and around then it reels you in
Grabbed on behind, wasn′t paying attention
Made me intoxicated, left me dizzy

So take my love but don't abuse
Take my trust but don′t accuse
Baby, take my heart, don't cause me no pain
If I give you my life, give it back again

Was a beautiful day, I took a stroll in the park
Children running around, it was a work of art
Sat by the lake to take a breather
I looked up in his eyes, they said, "Come hither"
So we went for a walk then had something to eat
He had such good energy, damn, it felt good to me
Hadn't been so long, felt so right so it couldn′t be wrong
My ego said, "Go slowly," don′t forget those rules


Baby, take my heart but don't abuse
Take my trust but don′t accuse
Baby, take my love, don't cause me no pain
If I give you my life, give it back again

There′s no guarantees if you spend life trying to please
Wishing you had spoke your mind, sometimes love ain't kind
If you′d only done it sooner, convince yourself you didn't know
But who knows? Who knows?

Ooh, baby, take my love but don't abuse
Take my trust but don′t accuse
Baby, take my heart, don′t cause me no pain
If I give you my life, give it back again
Sweet baby, take my love but don't abuse
Take my trust but don′t accuse
Baby, take my heart, don't cause me no pain
If I give you my life, give it back again

What would you do if today were your last day?
Would you be a millionaire or learn to fly?
Take my advice, forget all the above
May I suggest that you try falling in love


Baby, take my love but don′t abuse
Take my trust but don't accuse
Ooh, baby, take my heart, don′t cause me no pain
If I give you my life, give it back again

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't forget those rules, don't forget those rules
Ooh

Please don′t forget those rules, don′t forget those rules
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
