The Rules Lyrics

Years ago I lost my guard
Ever since it's been hard
standing up like a man, like a father
understand that all I do
is not enough for myself
I am tough on myself
I need to freeze, I need direction, aw please

Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to belong.

First I'm gonna sing my song

I try to do what is right,
I try to win without a fight.
From time to time I turn around
to their gun on the ground.
I try to seek more than this:
A nice smile, a wet kiss.
Don't want to miss what I'm looking for
but it's behind your door

Show me all the rules girl
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to belong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to belong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to belong.
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl
I just want to belong
