Michael McDonald 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

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
