Love's Got Its Own Rules

Had a talk with my new love the other night

She said we’re a hit and the future looks bright

But if you want me to stay and love you right

You’re going to have to play by my rules

So this is what I told her

I said love’s got its own rules, maybe different than yours

It doesn’t care about your do’s, doesn’t care about your don’ts

Even if I’m wearing a ring out on my hand

Doesn’t mean I’m doing everything right but I’m doing the best I can

I know I still got some dues to pay and I still got some things I got to change

The only rule I need to know is love’s got its own

Now you’ve got your ground rules that have to be met

It’s usually all or nothing, no excuse if I forget

You say you’re inflexible, that’s just how it is

If it’s the highway or your way how can love ever stand a chance

I know I still got some dues to pay and I still got some things I got to change

The only rule I need to know is love’s got its own

Well there’s a right and a wrong way to love someone

And you can make all kinds of rules when love’s still young

But if you want to see loyalty you’ve got to give love room to breathe

No matter where it is you go, when love is knocking on the door

The only rule you need to know is love’s got its own

Well that’s right

Now love’s got its own rules, love’s got its own rules

I said love’s got its own rules, love’s got its own rules
