Play by the rules You're gonna miss all the fun He was a melon stealin' A do-it-anywayin' Playin' hooky from school A water tower poet class of '73 He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me

(you're beautiful) (for all your big mistakes) When do you come out to play? 'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me, He'd better start looking today. I don't know. I think they come from the cold (you stayed the same) To the city that don't snow.

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames Just like Jesse James Come on baby So come on baby If you can give it I can take it 'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it I know tonight Somebody's gonna win the fight

If you're gonna do it, do it right (right) Do it with me Baby, I'm your man Call me good Call me bad Call me anything you want to baby But I know that you're sad And I know I'll make you happy

I ran away, I ran away from good Honey I will meet you Darling I will keep you in my heart You're never gonna put me down Yeah I've been waiting all my life Honey I will stitch you Darling I will fit you in my heart You're not a day, you're not a day too

Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody Make somebody bleed Yeah, you're gonna hurt somebody God, I hope it's me And God, I hope it's me Well, you ain't that old but you ain't that young You've lived a life but you ain't quite done All eyes on you everywhere

If you let me put it a little into ya For so long I've been tryin' to get into ya Now girl it's your turn to take the reins Now show me what you're gonna do 'Cause girl I got your remedy Can't put down girl get down Help it's too late 'cause it's 'bout

What do I do now? All the plans we made don't work if you're not around So tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now? What do I do? What do I do now? Was gonna give you these flowers tonight Was gonna ask you to stay Practiced so that I would say it

I found the one (Found the one) I found hay in a stack of needles Four-leaf clover in a mile of weeds (Found the one) understands my downs (Found the one) puts up with my needs Of everybody under the sun If you're gonna gamble May as well be on love

Play by the rules You're gonna miss all the fun He was a melon stealin' A do-it-anywayin' Playin' hooky from school A water tower poet class of '73 He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
