Origineel
[Verse 1]
Talkin’ in my sleep at night, makin’ myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out, hopin’ 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
[Pre-Chorus]
One: Don’t pick up the phone
You know he’s only callin’ ‘cause he’s drunk and alone
Two: Don’t let him in
You’ll have to kick him out again
Three: Don’t be his friend
You know you’re gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you’re under him, you ain’t gettin’ over him
[Chorus]
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new, I got new
I gotta tell them to myself
[Verse 2]
I keep pushin’ forwards, but he keeps pullin’ me backwards
(Nowhere to turn, no way)
(Nowhere to turn, no)
Now I’m standin’ back from it, I finally see the pattern
(I never learn, I never learn)
But my love, he doesn’t love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
I do, I do, I do
[Pre-Chorus]
One: Don’t pick up the phone
You know he’s only callin’ ‘cause he’s drunk and alone
Two: Don’t let him in
You’ll have to kick him out again
Three: Don’t be his friend
You know you’re gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you’re under him, you ain’t gettin’ over him
[Chorus]
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new, I got new
I gotta tell them to myself
[Bridge]
Practice makes perfect
I’m still tryna learn it by heart (I got new rules, I count ‘em)
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it, ‘cause I… (I got new…)
[Pre-Chorus]
One: Don’t pick up the phone (yeah)
You know he’s only callin’ ‘cause he’s drunk and alone (alone)
Two: Don’t let him in (uh-ooh)
You’ll have to kick him out again (again)
Three: Don’t be his friend
You know you’re gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you’re under him, you ain’t gettin’ over him
[Chorus]
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I gotta tell them to myself
(Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa)
I-I-I-I-I-I gotta tell them to myself
[Outro]
Don’t let him in, don’t let him in
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t…
Don’t be his friend, don’t be his friend
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t…
Don’t let him in, don’t let him in
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t…
Don’t be his friend, don’t be his friend
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t…
You’re gettin’ over him

[Pre-Chorus]
One: Don’t pick up the phone
Je weet dat hij alleen belt omdat hij dronken en alleen is
Twee: Laat hem niet binnen
Je zult hem er weer uit moeten schoppen
Drie..: Wees niet zijn vriend.
Je weet dat je ’s morgens in zijn bed wakker wordt
En als je onder hem ligt, kom je niet over hem heen
[refrein]
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new, I got new
I gotta tell them to myself
[Verse 2]
I keep pushin’ forwards, but he keeps pullin’ me backwards
(Nowhere to turn, no way)

Now I’m standin’ back from it, I finally see the pattern
(Ik leer het nooit, ik leer het nooit)
But my love, he doesn’t love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
I do, I do, I do

I gotta tell them to myself
[Bridge]
Oefening baart kunst
I’m still tryingna learn it by heart (I got new rules, I count ‘em)
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Oefen en herhaal het, want ik… (Ik heb nieuwe…)
[Pre-Chorus]
One: Don’t pick up the phone (yeah)
You know he’s only callin’ ‘cause he’s drunk and alone (alleen)
Two: Don’t let him in (uh-ooh)
You’ll have to kick him out again (weer)
Drie: Wees niet zijn vriend
Je weet dat je ’s morgens in zijn bed wakker wordt
En als je onder hem bent, kom je niet over hem heen
[refrein]
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I got new rules, I count ‘em
I gotta tell them to myself
(Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa)
I-I-I-I-I-I-I gotta tell them to myself
[Outro]
Laat hem niet binnen, laat hem niet binnen
Niet doen, niet doen, niet doen, niet doen…
Wees niet zijn vriend, wees niet zijn vriend
Niet doen, niet doen, niet doen, niet doen…
Don’t let him in, don’t let him in
Niet doen, niet doen, niet doen, niet doen…
Wees niet zijn vriend, wees niet zijn vriend
Niet doen, niet doen, niet doen, niet doen…
You’re gettin’ over him
