Playin By The Rules Lyrics

    By michael mcdonald & ed sanford

    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

    Chorus:
    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

    Chorus:

    When are you gonna learn
    That a love is earned
    Sometimes you got to fight
    But, oh, baby-that's all right
