Playin' By The Rules

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
