New Rules
Clean Bandit Lyrics

Talkin' in my sleep at night
I keep thinking about him even when I am asleep.

Makin' myself crazy
My obsession with him is driving me insane.

(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
I can't stop thinking about him and it's taking a toll on my mental health.

Wrote it down and read it out
I wrote down my feelings about him and read it out loud to myself hoping it would help.

Hopin' it would save me
I thought that writing down my feelings would help me get over him.

(Too many times, too many times)
I have tried to get over him too many times without success.

Oh, he makes me feel like nobody else
He makes me feel special and nobody can replace him.

Nobody else
No one else makes me feel the way he does.

But my love, he doesn't love me
Despite my feelings for him, he doesn't feel the same way about me.

So I tell myself, I tell myself
To cope with the rejection, I remind myself not to give in to him.

One, don't pick up the phone
I shouldn't answer his calls.

You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
He only calls when he is drunk and lonely.

Two, don't let him in
I shouldn't let him come into my life.

You have to kick him out again
If he manages to come in, I have to kick him out again.

Three, don't be his friend
I shouldn't be friends with him if I want to move on.

You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
Being his friend means I will end up in his bed without being able to resist him.

And if you're under him
If we have sex again, I will never be able to get over him.

You ain't getting over him
I won't be able to move on if I keep giving in to him.

Ooh that dress so scandalous
I am moving on to another topic now.

And ya know another couldn't handle it
Her dress is too scandalous for anyone else to handle.

See ya shakin that thang like who's da ish
She is confident and knows she is the best dancer in the place.

With a look in ya eye so devilish
She has a mischievous look in her eyes.

Ya like to dance at all the hip hop spots
She enjoys dancing at all the trendy hip hop venues.

And ya cruise to the crews like connect tha dots
She likes to move from one crew to the other like a dot connecting them.

Not just urban she likes the pop
She doesn't stick to only urban music but also likes pop music.

She was livin la vida loca
She was living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment.

She had dumps like a truck, truck, truck
The song moved to a different topic now.

Thighs like what, what what
She has great thighs.

Baby move your butt, butt, butt
She wants the person to dance and move their butt along with the music.

I think I'll sing it again
The previous lines were repeated in a humorous way.

All night long
The person should dance all night long.

Hey! (when the beat goes da na da na)
The beat drops at this point.

Girl I know you wanna show that thong th-thong, thong, thong
The singer is encouraging the girl to show off her thong while dancing.

(two, don't let him in, you'll have to kick him out again
The instructions from earlier are repeated to remind the listener not to give in to temptation.

I like it when the beat goes da na da na (three, don't be his friend)
The singer is still encouraging the girl to dance and is reminding the listener not to be friends with the person they are trying to move on from.

Girl I know you wanna show da na da na (you know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning)
Once again, the singer encourages the girl to dance, but also warns about the consequences of being too close to the person you are trying to move on from.

(and if you're under him)
The warnings continue about giving in to temptation and sleeping with the person again.

You ain't getting over him
It will be impossible to truly move on if the person keeps giving in to temptation.

Said I like the way, you do the thing
The singer continues encouraging the girl to dance and move her body while enjoying the music.

Lemme see your booty go
The singer wants to see the girl moving her butt in time with the music.

I love it when your booty go
The singer enjoys seeing people dance and moving their bodies to the music.
