Lyrics The Rules - Dave Monks

The Rules

Listen Michelle
You may never come back
But why do you care
You’re a beautiful girl
And everyone seems to have found their sweetheart
Well I know you’re starting to think
When everyone acts like they’re on a postcard
Why is it your heart that has to sink
Well I don’t make the rules
I just play along
And I can’t break the rules
Oh-hh
Michael I know
That she treated you bad
But don’t take it hard
She didn’t know what she had
And everyone’s carving their name on a sidewalk
Well I know you’re feeling an ache
When everyone’s words are nothing but sweet talk
Why is it your heart that has to break?
Well I don’t make the rules
I just play along
And you can’t break the rules
I just sing my song
To the beat of the drum
I don’t know where it’s comin' from
But I know how the rhythm goes
Yeah I know how the rhythm goes
Well I don’t make the rules
I just play along
And you can’t break the rules
Oh-hh
Well I don’t make the rules
I just play along
And you can’t break the rules
But it won’t be long
Yeah it won’t be long
Listen Michelle
You may never come back
But why do you care
You’re a beautiful girl
