[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
