My Rules Lyrics

I don't need a break from you
I won't reach out for your hand
You offer me cool, but I reject it
I won't wear your brand

I've got enough rules of my own
Pushing in on me
I don't need any more
Rules that keep me tied up

You offer me your acceptance
You think that's important to me
Well I don't like anybody
That's got all the answers for me

I've got enough rules of my own
Pushing in on me
I don't need any more
Rules that keep me tied up

Well maybe now you're getting what you expected
That may change
But I can change my mind anytime
And I just might turn it on you

I've got enough rules of my own
Pushing in on me
I don't need any more
Rules that keep me tied up

Ah!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
