Origineel
We had a special way of talkin'
Oh, a language all our own
We always knew the latest dances
But we liked old-fashioned love
Now something seems the matter
You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)
I don't want to love here anymore
(I don't want to love here anymore)
You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)
I don't have a lot of patience
When someone's lit my fuse
So don't you try to reason
Me, I don't want no excuse, no!
You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)
I don't want to love here anymore
(I don't want to love here anymore)
You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)
You (You)
Don't (don't)
Play (play)
By the rules
I (I)
Won't (don't)
Love here anymore
You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)
'Cause I don't want to love here anymore
(I don't want to love here anymore)
Vertaling
We hadden een speciale manier van praten
Oh, een geheel eigen taal
We kenden altijd de nieuwste dansen
Maar we hielden van ouderwetse liefde
Nu lijkt er iets aan de hand
Je wilt niet volgens de regels spelen
(Je wilt niet volgens de regels spelen)
Ik wil hier niet meer liefhebben
(Ik wil hier niet meer liefhebben)
You don't want to play by the rules
(Je wilt het niet volgens de regels spelen)
I don't have a lot of patience
When someone's lit my fuse
So don't you try to reason
Ik, ik wil geen excuus, nee!
You don't want to play by the rules
(Je wilt niet volgens de regels spelen)
I don't want to love here anymore
(Ik wil hier niet meer liefhebben)
You don't want to play by the rules
(Je wilt niet volgens de regels spelen)
You (Jij)
Don't (niet doen)
Play (spelen)
Volgens de regels
IK (IK)
Zal niet (niet)
Love here anymore
You don't want to play by the rules
(Je wilt niet volgens de regels spelen)
'Cause I don't want to love here anymore
(ik wil hier niet meer liefhebben)
