Break Every Rule lyrics

I need you here beside me to chase the night away
I need your love to guide me safe through another day
I lie and watch the lights go down
Say goodnight to another town
And though it hurts to be alone
I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm

In the afterglow of your love
Dreamings all I'm guilty of
Everyday I'm playing tough
But read my mind

If you could see me now

Baby tell me what you're trying to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen, I ain't gonna take one more night
You're the one who broke the rules
And I'm the one who played the fool
Now you're trying to tell me it's alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
You'll never get another chance again

You'll be back where you started

Every road that I walk
Every single flight I ever take
Though I'm thousands of miles away
In my mind every journey leads me closer to you
I've been all around this world
I've been in far too many states
But I'm under your spell
I've made my mistakes, oh you can probably tell

You're every dream that I dream
You're every beautiful thing I've ever seen
I'm always singing your praises

Girls, we come and we go
We kiss, come and we go
Like a breeze, toughing your cheek
Like pain, like the tears on a face

Girls, we come and we go
Like spirits, we vanish at dawn
My heart, suspended in time
Like you, vanish like tears in the rain

Girls, we take our loves away
Like spirits living so far away
Girls, pretending to break down and cry

There'll be a storm one night
Then I'll fly to you for shelter
Soaked in welcome rain
Falling to forbidden arms
Too breathless, too helpless
Too restless to explain needing you

There'll be a storm one night
But you will find my place of hiding
We'll watch the lights like children
Leave the fortress hand in hand

I'll be thunder
You'll be the lightning
I'll be thunder

Well I guess I've been a long time
Working in a backline
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was mine
Two dollar high-heel shoes and a honky tonk dress
In the rhythm and the soul reviews I had a dream I guess

And I had to beat the stagefright
I had to cry all night
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was right
I said - Girl, get up and get out of this mess

Its time to face the music
Tonight I came to use it
You never know
Who youre gonna meet in here
I thought Id never find it
The dark and handsome kind
I used to dream of
And now youre standing there
Though youre looking good to me
It doesnt mean that you can do as you please
No no no no

Chorus
Oh baby youre the best thing in my life
But a one track mind is what you got

YOU SAY YOU WANT TO LIVE SOME
MOVE OUT INTO THE FAST LANE
YOU SAY YOU NEED EXCITEMENT
TO MAKE YOU COME ALIVE
SOME PLACE A MILLIONS MILES FROM
THE SHADOWS THAT SURROUND YOU

I LOOK FOR YOUR ATTENTION
YOU'RE LOST OUT IN THE FUTURE
WHERE LOVERS ASK NO QUESTIONS
AND SHADOWS NEVER FALL
SOME PILGRIM BOUND FOR PARADISE
NO COMPROMISE

BUT PARADISE IS HERE
IT'S TIME TO STOP YOUR CRYING

TWO PEOPLE LIVING ON THE EDGE OF LIFE
ARE PEOPLE RUNNING OUT OF DREAMS AND TIME
I CAN HEAR IT WHEN YOU TELL ME SO
I CAN FEEL IT BUT I CAN'T LET GO

[CHORUS]
TWO PEOPLE GOTTA STICK TOGETHER
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
SAVE IT FOR A RAINY DAY
SOME PEOPLE GOTTA STAY WHATEVER
GIVE ONE ANOTHER
SHELTER ON A RAINY DAY

TWO PEOPLE LIVING IN THE WAY WE DO
ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO KEEP A LOVE ANEW

SOME BOYS GOT THE LOOK OF THE GREEK ADONIS
SOME BOYS TRY TALK YOU OFF YOUR FEET
SOME BOYS THINK THEY'RE GODS GIFT TO WOMEN
SOME BOYS THINK THEY'RE SWEET ENOUGH TO EAT
TRY TO CHANGE THE HABIT OF A LIFETIME
DON'T EVEN TRY
'COS WHEN YOU CUT DOWN DEEPER THAN THE ICING
YOU REALISE

[CHORUS]
WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE
AIN'T NOTHING MORE TO IT
AND IF YOU WANNA LOVE A WOMAN LIKE ME

TELL ME LAWYER WHAT TO DO
I THINK I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU
DEFEND ME, FROM THE WAY I FEEL
WON'T YOU GIVE ME SOME ADVICE
ON HOW TO HANDLE MY PRIVATE LIFE
I'M SURE THAT WE CAN MAKE A DEAL

I CONFESS I'M A FOOL FOR A MAN
WITH A CLEVER MIND
BUT YOUR INTELLECT AIN'T NO MATCH
FOR THIS HEART OF MINE

[CHORUS]
ALL I WANT IS A LITTLE REACTION
JUST ENOUGH TO TIP THE SCALES
