By Dua Lipa.
Talking in my sleep at night, making myself crazy.
Out of my mind, out of my mind.
Wrote it down and read it out, hoping it would save me.
Too many times, too many times.
My love, he makes me feel like nobody else, nobody else.
But my love he doesn't love me so I tell myself, I tell myself.
One, don't pick up the phone, you know he's only calling cuz he's drunk and alone. Two, don't let him in, you have to kick him out again. Three, don't be strange, you know you are going to wake up in his bed in the morning. And if you are under him, you ain't getting over him. I got no rules, I count them.
I got no rules, I count them.
I got to tell them to myself.
I got no rules, I count them.
Oh.
I got to tell them to myself. I'll keep pushing forwards, but it keeps pulling me backwards.
Nowhere to return, nowhere to turn. Now I'm standing back from it, I finally see the pattern.
I'll never learn, I'll 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 cuz he's drunk and alone.
Two, don't let a man you have to kick him out again. Three, don't be his friend, you know you you are going to wake up in his bed in the morning. And if you want to him, you ain't getting over him. I got no rules, I count them.
Hey, I got no rules, I count them. Hey.
I got to tell them to myself.
I got no rules, I count them.
I got to tell them to myself.
Practice makes perfect. I'm still trying to learn it by heart.
Eat, sleep, and breathe it. Rehearsing, repeating cuz I Let's go, everyone. One, don't pick up the phone, you know he's only calling cuz he's drunk and alone. Two, don't let a man you have to kick him out again.
Three, don't be his friend, you know you you are going to wake up in his bed in the morning.
And if you want to him, you ain't getting over him. I got no rules, I count them.
I got no rules, I count them.
Hey, I got to tell them to myself.
I got no rules, I count them.
Baby, you know I do I do.
Don't let a man, don't let a man, don't let a man, don't don't Don't be his friend, don't be his friend, don't Don't let a man, don't let a man, don't don't don't Don't be his friend, don't be his friend, don't You're getting over him.
