Talkin' in my sleep at night
Makin' myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out
Hopin' it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)
My love, he makes me feel
Like nobody else, nobody else
But my love, he doesn't love me
So I tell myself, I tell myself
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin'
‘Cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up
In his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't gettin' over him
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
Are you that somebody?
Tell me are you that somebody?
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
Are you that somebody?
I've gotta tell them to myself
I keep pushin' forwards
But he keeps pullin' me backwards
(Nowhere to turn, nowhere to turn)
Now I'm standin' back from it
I finally see the pattern
(I never learn, I never learn)
But my love, he doesn't love me
So I tell myself, I tell myself
I do, I do, I do
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin'
‘Cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up
In his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't gettin' over him
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
Are you that somebody?
Tell me are you that somebody?
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
Are you that somebody?
I've gotta tell them to myself (Hey!)
If I let you know
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Are you responsible?
Boy, I gotta watch my back
Cause I'm not just anybody
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin'
‘Cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up
In his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't gettin' over him
I got new rules, I count 'em
Yeah, oh (Are you that somebody?)
(Tell me are you that somebody?)
I've got new rules, I count 'em baby
He's drunk and alone so
(Are you that somebody?)
Don't pick up the phone
(Tell me are you that somebody?)
I've got new rules, I count 'em
