I got home last night
at 10 past 2
My folks turned blue
Their tempers flew
I gotta be in bed
at quarter to 10
There go those rules again
Too many rules
Too many rules
Folks are just fools
makin' too many rules
I pray the stars above
I haven't lost your love
Coz there are
too many rules
When you call me
on the telephone
It's not my own
They've made it known
So you must call me only
now and then
There go those
rules again
Too many rules
Too many rules
Folks are just fools
makin' too many rules
I pray the stars above
I haven't lost your love
Coz there are
too many rules
My kid brother's always
on my trail. I can't escape
that tattle tail
I hope you understand
what I'm goin' through
I don't know
what else to do
Too many rules
Too many rules
Folks are just fools
makin' too many rules
I pray the stars above
I haven't lost your love
Coz there are
too many rules
Coz there are
too many rules
