Rules - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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 were made to be)

So many hearts break the same way too

Ah, 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 that 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 (Rules were made to be)

So many hearts break the same way, too

Ah, 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 were 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

(Rules were made to be)

Just like everybody asks you

(No exception to the rule)

You've got a heart, baby

You've got a heart that can break too

(Rules were made to be)

You better hear what I'm telling you

(No exception to the rule)
