[Intro x3]
I got new rules, I count 'em
I count 'em, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules...

[Verse 1]
Talkin' in my sleep at night, makin' myself crazy
Wrote it down and read it out, hopin' it would save me
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 (keep pushin')
I got new rules, I count 'em
I count 'em, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
You ain't getting over him
I got new rules, I count 'em

[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 (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 gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I count 'em, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
You ain't getting over him
I got new rules, I count 'em

[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

Dua Lipa is a British singer-songwriter.

Born in London on August 22, 1995, she is the daughter of Albanian rock artist Dukagjin Lipa. She moved to Kosovo at the age of 11 before returning to the UK at age 15 to attend Sylvia Young Theatre School part-time. Posting covers of artists such as Nelly Furtado, Chance The Rapper and Rihanna, she signed to Warner Records (Vertigo/Captiol for Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and released her debut single, “New Love.” Its follow-up, “Be The One,” became her breakthrough single in mainland Europe. She was also shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2016 list and was nominated for the prestigious BRITs Critics Choice Award.

In 2016, she broke through in the UK with “Hotter Than Hell,” and scored her first Billboard Hot 100-charting single with “Blow Your Mind (Mwah).” Collaborations with Martin Garrix and Sean Paul on their worldwide hits “Scared to Be Lonely” and “No Lie”“ followed in 2017. Her self-titled debut album was released on June 2, debuting at #5 on the UK Album Charts and at #86 on the Billboard 200 and receiving positive reviews from critics, many praising Dua Lipa’s vocals and confidence. The album’s sixth single, “New Rules,” became a worldwide hit, topping the charts in the UK and remaining in the top 5 for 10 consecutive weeks. In early 2018, “IDGAF” was released to similar success, while Dua won two BRIT Awards, including Best Breakthrough Act. She saw continued success with her Calvin Harris collaboration, “One Kiss,” and closed out the year with a Complete Edition reissue of her album.
