the phone. You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk
and alone. Two, don't let him in. You'll have to kick him out again. Three, don't be his friend You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning And if you're under him, you ain't getting over him [Chorus:] I got new rules, I count 'em. I got new rules, I count 'em. I gotta tell them to myself. I got new rules, I count 'em. I gotta tell them to myself. [Verse 2:] I keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps pullin' me backwards (Nowhere to turn) no way. (Nowhere to turn) no. Now I'm standing back from it, I finally see the pattern (I never learn, I never learn) But my love, he doesn't love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself. I do, I do, I do.[Pre-Chorus:]
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't getting over him
[Chorus:]
I got new rules, I count 'em.
I got new rules, I count 'em.
I gotta tell them to myself.
I got new rules, I count 'em.
I gotta tell them to myself.
[Bridge:]
Practice makes perfect
I'm still tryna' learn it by heart
(I got new rules, I count 'em)
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it, 'cause I
(I got new, I got new, I...)
