The New Rules - Irma Thomas

You’ve got a lot of nerve to come running back to the one that you just walked

on

You didn’t even wait until my nerves calmed, and I hear you come

Oh I’ve been a fool, a first class fool,

But that’s all in the past, here’s the new rule

If you wanna play — the game of love with me

You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the interest on it

and then get two for one, that’s the new rule

If you wanna play — the game of love with me

You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the intrest on it

and then get two for one, that’s the new rule

Oh, I can’t take a chance, not with my heart again

If there’s got to be a loser, it won’t be me

I can’t chance it, my heart couldn’t take it, can’t let you break it

If you wanna play the game of love with me

You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the interest on it

and then get two for one, that’s the new rule

Oh, I can’t take a chance, not with my heart again

If there’s got to be a loser, you know it won’t be me

I can’t chance it, my heart couldn’t take it, can’t let you break it

If you wanna play the game of love with me

You gotta put up anything for love, and then pay the interest on it

and then get two for one, that’s the new rule

If you wanna play the game of love with me

You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the interest on it

and then get two for one, that’s the new rule
