One, one, one, one, one...
Talkin' in my sleep at night, makin' 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 doesn't love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
Two: Don't let him in
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
Now I'm standin' back from it, I finally see the pattern
I keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps pullin' me backwards
(Nowhere to turn, no way)
(Nowhere to turn, no)
Two: Don't let him in
(I never learn, I never learn)
But my love, he doesn't love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
I do, I do, I do
One: Don't pick up the phone
You'll have to kick him out again
I gotta tell them to myself
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
One: Don't pick up the phone (yeah)
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...)
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone (alone)
Two: Don't let him in (uh-ooh)
Three: Don't be his friend
You'll have to kick him out again (again)
I got new rules, I count 'em
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
I got new rules, I count 'em
(Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa)
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I gotta tell them to myself
(Baby, you know I count 'em)
Don't, don't, don't, don't...
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't...
You're gettin' over him
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't...
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, don't...
