So often times I'd tell her the feelings that were mine My dark and hidden secrets and things along that line We'd cry and we would ponder, we'd laugh and we would sing But love is such a temporary thing Who made the rules? Who made the rules? Who made the rules? Who made the rules? She promised that she loved me, she swore it up and down And I was so proud of her every time we hit the town And I was making plans and saving money for a ring But love is such a temporary thing Who made the rules? Who made the rules? Who made the rules? Who made the rules? (Solo) Who made the rules? Who made the rules? Who made the rules? Who made the rules? Well, now she's going her way and leaving me behind And I can't help but wonder what is going through her mind And maybe I don't want the kind of happiness she brings If her love is a temporary thing Who made the rules? Who made the rules? Who made the rules? Who made the rules?
