Break My Rule (Ellis)
Swift like a tiger and fussy like a bear
But take it easy on me lady I ain't your millionaire
You've got me runnin' circles people out of my damn mind
I'll fly you here and fly you there until the sun don't shine
Hey baby
Don't make me break my rule
As soon as I start lovin' you
I pay to be your fool
I'm chasin' you as fast as I can, 'bout to lose my brains
Rental cars, airplane tickets, Greyhound buses, trains
Last month my phone bill came about had a heart attack
The way we're goin' through the stuff it's like a lovin' tax
Hey baby
Don't make me break my rule
As soon as I start lovin' you
I pay to be your fool
Aw, come here, baby
(solo)
I got to find an answer to the question I ask most
Why does a man feel so inclined to ship you coast to coast
I may be runnin' girl, I hope you feel like runnin' too
Just take it easy on me baby, I got work to do
Hey baby
Don't make me break my rule
As soon as I start lovin' you
I pay to be your fool
As soon as I start lovin' you
I pay to be your fool
