I got home last night at ten past two
My folks turned blue, their tempers flew
I gotta be in bed at quarter to ten
There go those rules again
Too many rules, too many rules
Folks are just fools making too many rules
I'd pray the stars above, I haven't lost your love
'Cause 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 making too many rules
I'd pray the stars above, I haven't lost your love
'Cause 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 going through
I don't know what to do
Too many rules, too many rules
Folks are just fools making too many rules
I'd pray the stars above, I haven't lost your love
'Cause there are too many rules
'Cause there are too many rules
