Talkin 'in my sleep at night, getting' myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out, hopin 'it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)
My love, he makes me feel like nobody else, nobody else
But my love, he does not love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
One, do not pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, do not let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, do not be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you're not getting over him
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
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 does not love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
I do, I do, I do
One, do not pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, do not let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, do not be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you're not getting over him
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
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 ...)
One, do not pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, do not let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, do not be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you're not getting over him
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
(Oh, whoa-oh)
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
(Baby, you know I count 'em)
I gotta tell them to myself
Do not let him in, do not let him in
Do not, do not, do not, do not
Do not be his friend, do not be his friend
Do not, do not, do not, do not
Do not let him in, do not let him in
Do not, do not, do not, do not
Do not be his friend, do not be his friend
Do not, do not, do not, do not
You gettin 'over him
