Lyrics

The Rules

(Verse)

Rule number one - there will be no rules

Rule number two - yea, that's for you, that's for you

Rule number three – when in doubt there's the door

Rule number four – tell me more, tell me more, tell me more

(Chorus)

No lies, no tricks of any kind

Be true, love art, show insight

And I will absolutely love you

(Verse)

Rule number five – make sure God's on your side

Rule number six – it will never be fixes in the mix

Rule number seven – leave no space in-between

And here's number eight – just to be real, now I make believe

(Chorus)

No lies, no tricks of any kind

Be true, love art, show insight

And I will absolutely love you

(Verse)

When shadows appear

Show me the power to shine

Travel the world all around

Laying the troubles down

(Chorus)

No lies, no tricks of any kind

Be true, love art, show insight

And I, yea I

I will absolutely love you
