Anita Baker - Rules lyrics

Love was meant to be loving So many times we don't give, we take Love has really no conception to this rule Days you gave me were numbered And as a rule they were hard to take All it took was the number of a fool Rules were made to be broken So many hearts break the same way too, aw baby I said that you ain't no exception to the rule, yes sir Your answer begging my question It seems I left you too late to ask Was this really your intention From the start The nights you left me are empty, baby As for the answer, they changed the past I tried to let you explain your change of heart How could you change your mind Rules were made to be broken So many hearts break the same way too, aw honey I said that you ain't no exception to the rule How could they say It would be better this way....without you When by the usual rules I kept presuming that you would stay, baby So many hearts break the same way too, now mister I said that you ain't no exception to the rule You..... Gonna get on my bad heart Just like everybody asks you You've gotta help baby You've gotta help me convert, too You better hear what I'm tellin' you
