(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 same 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 same 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, no 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 telling you
|
