New Rules
Dua LipaOne, one, one...
Talkin' in my at
Makin' myself
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it and read it out
Hopin' it would me
(Too many times, too many times)
My love, he makes me like nobody else
Nobody else
But my love, he doesn't me, so I tell myself
I tell myself
One, don't up the phone
You know he's only calling
'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
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 gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I keep pushin' , but
He keeps pullin' me
(Nowhere to turn) no way
(Nowhere to turn) no
Now I'm back from it,
I finally see the
(I never learn, I never learn)
But my love, he doesn't love me,
So I tell myself
I tell myself
I do, I do, I do
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling
'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
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 gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
Practice makes
I'm still tryna learn it by
(I got new rules, I count 'em)
Eat, sleep, and it
Rehearse and it, 'cause I
(I got new, I got new, I...)
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling
'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
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
(Oh, whoa-oh)
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
(Baby, you know I count 'em)
I gotta tell them to myself
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
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
You gettin' over him
She told the BBC that the song
"It's about keeping your distance from someone who's bad for you. I'm setting some rules down so I won't go back to that person."
