Record Tracklist

  1. Breaking All the Rules -:-- / -:--

Who’s this stranger walking in my life?
Flash the warning signs
I’m wrangling too many pieces to try
And hope tonight

Oh, I don’t kiss on the first date
Oh, looks like it’s too late

‘Cause I’m breaking all the rules for you
I’m doing everything I said I would not do
I’ve been walking a broken path and here it’s led me straight to you
And I know what I have to do
I have to break all the rules

I try to be convinced that this won’t last
But you’re saying the “L” word
If I learned anything from the past
It’s love can be hurtful

Oh, for months you don’t back down
Oh, till I let my walls down

And I’m breaking all the rules for you
I’m doing everything I said I would not do
I’ve been walking a broken path and here it’s led me straight to you
And I know what I have to do
I have to break all the rules

All the things that I thought would just send you running drew you closer in
Now when you say “good morning” I can’t believe that with you life’s like this

I’m breaking all the rules for you
I’m doing all of the things I said that I would never do
Thank God for this broken path I’ve walked that led me straight to you
There was only one way to you
I had to break all the rules
