New Rules x Are You That Somebody? Lyrics

Talkin' in my sleep at night
Makin' myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out
Hopin' it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)

My love (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah) He makes me feel
Like nobody else (No) Nobody else (Ah)
But my love (Ah) he doesn't love me (So I tell myself)
So I tell myself (I tell myself) I tell myself (I tell myself)

(Ah, ah) One: Don't pick up the phone
(Oh) You know he's only callin'
'Cause he's drunk and alone
(Da-dada-da) Two: Don't let him in
(You'll...) You'll have to kick him out again
Three: (Oh-whoa-oh) Don't be his friend
(Oh, oh) You know you're gonna wake up
(Oh, oh, oh-oh) In his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
(Oh, oh) You ain't gettin' over him

I've got new rules, I count 'em (Ah, ah)
I've got new rules, I count 'em
Are you that somebody? (Oh)
Tell me are you that somebody? (Oh)
I've got new rules, I count 'em
Are you that somebody? (Oh)
I've gotta tell them to myself

I keep pushin' forwards
But he keeps pullin' me (Oh) backwards
(Nowhere to turn, nowhere to turn)
(Ah-ah) Now I'm standin' back from it
I finally see the pattern
(I never learn, ooh-whoa)

But my love (Ah, ah, oh-whoa) He doesn't love me
So I tell myself (So I tell myself) I tell myself
I do, I do, I do

(Ah, ah) One: Don't pick up the phone
(Oh) You know he's only callin'
'Cause he's drunk and alone
(Da-dada-da) Two: Don't let him in
(You'll...) You'll have to kick him out again
Three: (Oh-whoa-oh) Don't be his friend
(Oh, oh) You know you're gonna wake up
(Oh, oh, oh-oh) In his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
(Oh, oh) You ain't gettin' over him

I've got new rules, I count 'em (Ah, ah)
I've got new rules, I count 'em
Are you that somebody? (Oh)
Tell me are you that somebody? (Oh)
I've got new rules, I count 'em
Are you that somebody? (Oh)
I've gotta tell them to myself (Hey!)

If I let you know
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Are you responsible?
Boy, I gotta watch my back
Cause I'm not just anybody

One: (Whoa-oh-oh) Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' (Oh-oh-oh)
'Cause he's drunk and alone
Two: (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: (Whoa-oh-oh) Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up (Oh-oh-oh)
In his bed in the morning
If you're under him (Whoa-oh)
You ain't gettin' over him

I've got new rules, I count 'em
Yeah, oh (Whoa) (Are you that somebody?)
(Tell me are you that somebody?)
I've got new rules, I count 'em baby
(Yeah, oh-whoa) He's drunk and alone so
(Are you that somebody?)
Don't pick up the phone
(Tell me are you that somebody?)
I've got new rules, I count 'em
