Don't be alarmed It's not the end of the world If we're breaking the rules it's fine I disregard this kind of problem all the time It's not as if it's gonna kill anyone If there's no victim then there's no crime Just draw another if you think we've crossed the line Rules don't stop me Forget about it Rules don't stop me We'll get around it Rules don't stop me Forget about it Don't stop me, don't stop me Although it may seem unconventional sometimes Indiscretion is worth a try If you just play along I promise we'll be fine So leave your hang-ups back at the door When you and I are down on the floor Will you know what to do about it You know what to do about it Rules don't stop me Forget about it Rules don't stop me We'll get around it Rules don't stop me Forget about it Don't stop me, don't stop me It's not as bad as they say If this is such a mistake Why does it seem to make you so damn happy? This is no time to behave Let's both get carried away If there's a price to be paid It won't stop me Rules don't stop me Forget about it Rules don't stop me We'll get around it Rules don't stop me Forget about it Don't stop me, don't stop me They don't stop me, they don't stop me
