Lyrics The New Rules - Irma Thomas

The New Rules

You’ve got a lot of nerve to come running back to the one that you just walked
on
You didn’t even wait until my nerves calmed, and I hear you come
Oh I’ve been a fool, a first class fool,
But that’s all in the past, here’s the new rule
If you wanna play — the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the interest on it
and then get two for one, that’s the new rule
If you wanna play — the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the intrest on it
and then get two for one, that’s the new rule
Oh, I can’t take a chance, not with my heart again
If there’s got to be a loser, it won’t be me
I can’t chance it, my heart couldn’t take it, can’t let you break it
If you wanna play the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the interest on it
and then get two for one, that’s the new rule
chorus instrumental
Oh, I can’t take a chance, not with my heart again
If there’s got to be a loser, you know it won’t be me
I can’t chance it, my heart couldn’t take it, can’t let you break it
If you wanna play the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and then pay the interest on it
and then get two for one, that’s the new rule
If you wanna play the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the interest on it
and then get two for one, that’s the new rule
