Lyrics The New Rules - Irma Thomas

You've got a lot of nerve to come running back to the one that you just walked on
You didn't even wait until my nerves calmed, and I hear you come
Oh I've been a fool, a first class fool,
But that's all in the past, here's the new rule

If you wanna play - the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the interest on it
And then get two for one, that's the new rule

If you wanna play - the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the intrest on it
And then get two for one, that's the new rule

Oh, I can't take a chance, not with my heart again
If there's got to be a loser, it won't be me
I can't chance it, my heart couldn't take it, can't let you break it

If you wanna play the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the interest on it
And then get two for one, that's the new rule

Chorus instrumental

Oh, I can't take a chance, not with my heart again
If there's got to be a loser, you know it won't be me
I can't chance it, my heart couldn't take it, can't let you break it

If you wanna play the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and then pay the interest on it
And then get two for one, that's the new rule

If you wanna play the game of love with me
You gotta put up anything for love, and pay the interest on it
And then get two for one, that's the new rule

Repaet chorus
