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)
