Rules Lyrics by Rafferty

2017

I know you're ready to try love on
I'm outside if you're ready, jump on
Love on
Different sides of the tracks we're from
I'm the black and you're the white swan
Let the future be our right or wrong
Love on

Say good-bye, good-bye, baby
Good-bye, good-bye, baby

These rules are for living
Rules are for living
Hang on, hang on, hang on
These rules are for living, rules are for living, hang on

Oh, the city lights melt with emotion
'Cause we go riding 'til we stop it like ocean
We're not afraid of dying 'cause We're flying through heaven
And nothing in the world's gonna change me
'Cause a way I feel about you is crazy
They can talk all they want, but it's strong
Love on

Say good-bye, good-bye, baby
Good-bye, good-bye, baby

These rules are for living
Rules are for living
Hang on, hang on, hang on
These rules are for living, move through the street, go on

(Hey) Don't you listen what they say
(Hey) Came and shook me out the cage
(Hey) To the left, a problem rage the night away

Say good-bye, good-bye baby
Good-bye, good-bye baby
These rules are for living, rules are for living, hang on, hang on
Say good-bye, good-bye baby
Good-bye, good-bye baby
These rules are for living, rules are for living, hang on, hang on

These rules are for living, rules are for living
Hang on, hang on, hang on
These rules are for living, rules are for living
Take my hand, we'll make them as we go along

Hang on
Hang on, hang on, hang on
Hang on, hang on
Hang on, hang on, hang on
