Playin' By The Rules Lyrics

(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
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/playin-by-the-rules-lyrics-michael-mcdonald.html ] 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
