I like you and you like me Just so long as we agree Don't talk love 'cause I am worldly-wise Leave the light on but close your eyes Ask no questions and you'll get no lies Kindly kiss me on the dotted line And rules to live by work out fine
Give an inch and lose a crooked mile Everytime, everytime I see you smile I need you like I need a hole in my dreams Just got my day mended when the night rips the seams If the news got out I couldn't live it down 'Cause I like my freedom and I like my fun And rules to live by come undone
I made such a mess of things before Maybe you could move in next door And sometimes I'll come 'round and spend the night No big thing, just if it feels right Where's the line where people stop and share If I said I half way care Rules to live by stop right there Rules to live by come undone Rules to live by work out fine
