[Intro]

Break the rules

[Verse 1]

Oh, hey there, mami, where your mind at? (Mind at?)

And if you lost me, can we find that? (Can we find that?)

One long walk to the wrong place

Did he leave you out here on a bad day?

Gotta let you know, many years ago

That feeling never would've stopped

Hop in, baby, to the next stop

Maybe grab a couple things

When we pass through to your bed spot

It's such a mess

Crossing our T's and dotting I's, it's no surprises

You think you're nice but when was nice ever the right thing?

[Chorus]

You nevеr really wanted to mess with mе

To have a little fun and break the rules, the rules

You always try to bring out the best in me

But all I want to do is break the rules, the rules (Yeah)

(Break the rules, b-b-b-break the rules, b-b-b-break the rules)

(Break the rules, b-b-b-break the rules, b-b-b-break the rules)

[Verse 2]

You think you're nice but your nice won't do it for me

Oh, I think we're down in the pits

I tried to dig you out but you're pulling me in

Oh god, we could be living it up, grinning our gums numb, nah

We just having some fun

[Chorus]

You never really wanted to mess with me

To have a little fun and break the rules, the rules

You always try to bring out the best in me

But all I want to do is break the rules, the rules, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

You have a way with me

Don't play with me no more (Don't really wanna mess with me)

You catch a wave with me

Don't play with me no more

[Bridge]

I know, I know, I know

You don't follow, follow, follow

If it wasn't for old mistakes

We'd never fill our days, oh-oh

Okay, then maybe can we backtrack?

I never thought I'd see you like that

We were just acting out, it's really not that cruel

I'm a pretty motherfucker but I'll always break the rules

You better run

[Breakdown]

You think you're nice

Do what you like

Live life my way

[Chorus]

You never really wanted to mess with me

To have a little fun and break the rules, the rules (You can live without it)

You always try to bring out the best in me

But all I want to do is break the rules (You can live without it), the rules, yeah

[Outro]

You always try bring out the best in me

You had your way, you had your way with me

You have a way with me

Don't play with me no more (You always try bring out the best in me)

You catch a wave with me

Don't play with me 'cause all I want to do is break the rules
