Playin' By The Rules (LP版) - Michael Mcdonald

Who are you

Are you someone that I knew

Or did you come and go inside a dream

Well you look the same

Even though you say you've changed

You can't hide the shame of a guilty heart

Well I know there's a reason

Love don't always rhyme

So you think by leavin'

You're not wasting precious time

Love's not always happiness

Sad but it's true girl

Every fool's got to learn

He's got nothing to lose

Playin' by the rules

What's your plan

Will you try just one more man

And trade a thrill that's gone

For a brand new start

Will you love him only

Until you leave him lonely

When he tries to change and

Tame your restless heart

I know there's a reason

Love don't always rhyme

So you think by leavin'

You're not wasting precious time

Love's not always happiness

Sad but it's true girl

Every fool's got to learn

He's got nothing to lose

Playin' by the rules

When are you gonna learn

That a love is earned

Sometimes you got to fight

But oh baby-that's all right

I know there's a reason

Love don't always rhyme

So you think by leavin'

You're not wasting precious time

Love's not always happiness

Sad but it's true girl

Every fool's got to learn

He's got nothing to lose

Playin' by the rules
