Rules Lyrics

Shakira Rules

Songwriters: Mebarak, Shakira; Mendez, Lester;

You have to swear you've got love to love me
Aah, aah, that will last forever
Aah, aah, we must have a story
Aah, aah, with a happy ending
Aah, aah, so don't ever go away
And never put aside the things I'm gonna say
'Cause these are the rules for us

Use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh only if you laugh with me
You can cry only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh can't you see you always were, you'll always be

You used to say I should see a doctor
Aah, aah, who would keep me busy
Aah, aah, 'cause a jealous woman never makes it easy
Aah, aah, and you know I'll do for us whatever seems right
But it may take awhile before I change the rules

Use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are the branches of the same old tree
You can laugh only if you laugh with me
You can cry only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh can't you see you always were, you always were

So use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are the branches of the same old tree
You can laugh only if you laugh with me
You can cry only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh can't you see you always were, you'll always be
