[Verse 1]
You got that certain little somethin' that really turns me on
You can make me do right, or you can make me do wrong
If you really mean that I'm the best thing you ever found
Then you can prove it by being true and never playing around

[Chorus]
But just like you can cheat on me, I can cheat on you
There's no rule says the game of love can't be played by two

[Verse 2]
You can go shopping in the streets, trying to bargain up on somethin' new
But what's out there for you men is out there for us women, too
Like a dog that lies around and he licks his bone
If the shoe don't fit the size, then why keep trying it on?

[Chorus]
Just like you can cheat on me, I can cheat on you
There's no rule that says the game of love can't be played by two

[Verse 3]
Like the old saying of give and take, you're never to old to learn
But when you start to putting your hand in fire, you know you gonna get burned
But if you wanna do unto me as I do unto you
Then there's no chance that this romance can ever be broken in two
[Chorus]
But just like you can cheat on me, I can cheat on you
There's no rule says the game of love can't be played by two

[Verse 4]
See I've been hurtin' so many times, but somehow I pull through
But the stakes of love is just too high for me to gamble with you
I'm not tryin' to play hard to get, but I want you to understand
If you want a do-right woman, you gotta be a do-right man

[Chorus]
'Cause just like you can cheat on me, I can cheat on you
There's no rule says the game of love can't be played by two

[Outro]
Hear me talking now
If you want me to do right
You've got to come on in and do right
Said I'm gonna play if you play
That's what it's all about
Everybody's talking about liberation
I don't believe
Well, I believe in a man doin' right
Everything a woman's just tryin' to be
Just like you can cheat on me, I can cheat on you
But there's no rule says the game of love can't be played by two
