We had a special way of talkin´
Oh, a language all our own
We always knew the latest dances
But we liked old-fashioned love
Now something seems the matter

You don´t want to play by the rules
(You don´t want to play by the rules)
I don´t want to love here anymore
(I don´t want to love here anymore)
You don´t want to play by the rules
(You don´t want to play by the rules)

I don´t have a lot of patience
When someone´s lit my fuse
So don´t you try to reason
Me, I don´t want no excuse, no!

You don´t want to play by the rules
(You don´t want to play by the rules)
I don´t want to love here anymore
(I don´t want to love here anymore)
You don´t want to play by the rules
(You don´t want to play by the rules)

You (You)
Don´t (don´t)
Play (play)
By the rules
I (I)
won´t (don´t)
Love here anymore

You don´t want to play by the rules
(You don´t want to play by the rules)
´Cause I don´t want to love here anymore
(I don´t want to love here anymore)
