The Rules - Dave Monks

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
