(Rated PG-13 for sexual tension)
It’s hard, ha-a-ard to see what, what
You honestly believe you see in me as beautiful
But I’ll take your romantic sweet whispered nothings
If that hand, hand, hand on my thigh don’t go any higher
-
Hold on, hold on, let’s not, not, not move just yet
To the bed or the living room couch, cause I’m insecure, under-sexed
You’re my longest, longest, longest love, but don’t be the one-one-one
To take-take-take-take, oh, what purity is left
-
Chorus:
So (so) let me set the rules (rules)
Let’s make this romance last (last)
Let’s not make it a summer fling
Words and kisses have to be done with care
So let’s make (make) some rules tonight
Before the morning lights up (up)
Have me be the peace- and rule-keeper (yeah)
Let’s make this memorable, not worthless
Rules, rules, rules have to be written (rules)
-
We both go ooh-ooh-la-la-la-la in the moment
But I’d rather break up with you if you take your shirt off
No matter, no matter how much I like skin
I’d prefer to admire it and then indulge when the time is right
-
More, more, more, more, more; you pled with me oh-over again
But I got other plans; I owe an apology for later to you
My life doesn’t honestly involve you yet, not yet, not yet-yet-yet
Just wait and see, see what comes of this, this oddity

Chorus:
So (so) let me set the rules (rules)
Let’s make this romance last (last)

So let’s make (make) some rules tonight
Before the morning lights up (up)
Have me be the peace- and rule-keeper (yeah)
Let’s make this memorable, not worthless
Rules, rules, rules have to be written (rules)

Bridge:
Honestly, hopefully
We’ll respect the other
I go uh-oh, ooh, ooh-ooh
You go la, la, la, frustration
Set up some boundaries
Let’s not make mistakes, uh-oh
And oh-oh, let’s follow those rules
