[Verse 1]
Living my life
What's wrong with me?
I listen for your footsteps in the hallway
I'm waiting for the phone to ring
I know you're taken, baby, but I want you anyway
My own worst enemy
I see the way you push your hair from off her pretty face
And how you look at her
I see you whispering the words that you will never say to me, to me

[Pre-Chorus]
It's been getting serious
I don't know what I just gotta do to let you in

[Chorus]
But these are just the rules of attraction, chemical reaction
You're totally unreachable
Victim of the rules of attraction
Want, but I can't have it
They're always unavailable
Tell me why I'm living my, the rules of attraction

[Verse 2]
Why can't you see that I will never let you down, or leave you in the dark
With all this unrequited love, I feel like I could drown
It's gonna break my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
It's been getting serious
I don't know what I just gotta do to let you in

[Chorus]
But these are just the rules of attraction, chemical reaction
You're totally unreachable
Victim of the rules of attraction
Want, but I can't have it
They're always unavailable
Tell me why I'm living my, the rules of attraction
I'm loving my, the rules of attraction

[Bridge]
[?] laying beside you
I'll just keep dreaming of your touch
I'll close my eyes and love you from afar

[Chorus]
But these are just the rules of attraction, chemical reaction
You're totally unreachable
Victim of the rules of attraction
Want, but I can't have it
But these are just the rules of attraction, chemical reaction
You're totally unreachable
Victim of the rules of attraction
Want, but I can't have it
They're always unavailable
Tell me why I'm living my, the rules of attraction
I'm loving my, the rules of attraction

Bonnie Leigh McKee (born January 20, 1984) is an American singer and songwriter. After wild teenage years, she signed with Reprise Records at the age of 16 and was dropped by the label once album Trouble (2004, featuring minor hit “Somebody” ) got good reviews but poor sales. A few years in poverty working for a music publisher ensued, until she was introduced to producers Dr. Luke and Max Martin after long time friend Katy Perry wanted a songwriting partner. McKee has since reinvented herself as a successful songwriter, with credits in eight #1 singles in either the US or UK (along with five by Perry, these include songs by Taio Cruz, Britney Spears, Rita Ora and Cheryl) which have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide combined. After sometime of focusing on songwriting, McKee released “American Girl” in July 2013 and the EP Bombastic in 2015.
