Rules Songtext
von Anita Baker

Love was meant to be loving
So many times we don′t give, we take
Love has really no conception of 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 (Rules are made to be)
So many hearts break the same way too, aw, baby
I said that you ain't no exception to the rule, yeah, 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 that changed the past
I try each night explain your, change your heart
How could you change your mind?


Rules were made to be broken (Rules are made 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

(Rules are made 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 got a heart, baby
You′ve got a heart that can break too
You better hear what I′m telling you


Your loves gone, yeah, yeah
Just not belong to you
Didn't I belong to you alone
Oh, baby, you′ve got to learn to share
You've got to learn to share
