Anita Baker Rules Lyrics

Rules Lyrics

(Maggie Ryder, Phil Nicholl & Graham Lamb)

    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 some 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 some 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
