"Rules Of The Game" lyrics
Somebody not a million miles from here
Don't know the rules of the game
Guard that body and I'm doing the talking
And love's the name of the game
Stop living in the past, there's no time like the present
For a future for you and me
The more you give out, the more you get back
And you'll get the best deal from me
Rule 1 – you can't take it with you when you go
So spread it around you'll learn
Do it for the best in return
Just give me your love
I won't abuse it
Don't refuse it
You gotta use it
In case you lose it
Remember you can't take it with you when you go
You can't live your life without loving somebody
So why shouldn't it be me
You could do a lot worse but you won't do better
Satisfaction guaranteed
So don't take offence, take a tip from me
You gotta get it while the getting's good
I know I'm probably not as strong
But the rules of the game were made for me and you
Remember
Rule 1 – you can't take it with you when you go
So spread it around you learn
Do it for the best in return
Just give me your love
I won't abuse it
Don't refuse it
You gotta use it
In case you lose it
Remember you can't take it with you when you go
Like stocks and shares
Like a millionaire would
Invest your love
Where it'll do you most good
Before you know
You'll reap what you sow
So I'm stakin' my claim
Say you'll do the same
Remember
Rule 1 – you can't take it with you when you go
So spread it around you learn
Do it for the best in return
Just give me your love
I won't abuse it
Don't refuse it
You gotta use it
In case you lose it
Remember you can't take it with you when you go
There's a time and a place for everything
But no one's gonna change my place this time
If you give me your love, I'll give you my heart
And you can bleed it ‘till the love runs dry
You say I'm crazy to go on like this
But there's nothing else I can do
Tell you once more about the rules of the game
And the rest is up to you
Remember
Rule 1 – you can't take it with you when you go
So spread it around you learn
Do it for the best in return
Just give me your love
I won't abuse it
Don't refuse it
You gotta use it
In case you lose it
Remember you can't take it with you when you go
Don't know the rules of the game
Guard that body and I'm doing the talking
And love's the name of the game
Stop living in the past, there's no time like the present
For a future for you and me
The more you give out, the more you get back
And you'll get the best deal from me
Rule 1 – you can't take it with you when you go
So spread it around you'll learn
Do it for the best in return
