Love was meant to be loving   So many times we don't give, we take   Love has really no conception to this rule      Days you gave me were numbered   And as a rule they were hard to take   All it took was the number of a fool      Rules were made to be broken   So many hearts break the same way too, aw baby   I said that you ain't no exception to the rule, yes sir      Your answer begging my question   It seems I left you too late to ask   Was this really your intention   From the start      The nights you left me are empty, baby   As for the answer, they changed the past   I tried to let you explain your change of heart   How could you change your mind      Rules were made to be broken   So many hearts break the same way too, aw honey   I said that you ain't no exception to the rule      How could they say   It would be better this way....without you   When by the usual rules   I kept presuming that you would stay, baby      So many hearts break the same way too, now mister   I said that you ain't no exception to the rule   You.....      Gonna get on my bad heart   Just like everybody asks you   You've gotta help baby   You've gotta help me convert, too      You better hear what I'm tellin' you
