In order to be a man, you gotta toe the line
And as long as you're able, we'll do just fine
Now my baby should only have eyes for me
I know there's sometimes there's some girls you wanna see

Well, that's when my three-second rule comes into play
You can only look for three seconds, then look away

It's called a three-second rule
Like the kinda rules you had in school
It's just my three-second rule
It's designed to keep my man in line
As long as he knows the three-second rule
Ooh, ooh yеah, ooh, ooh yeah

When you're walking down thе street, oh, oh, oh
I see ya havin' a peek, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just stay behind the line and within the timeframe
'Cause I'm all you need

That's when my three-second rule comes into play
You can only look for three seconds, then look away

It's called a three-second rule
Like the kinda rules you had in school
It's just my three-second rule
It's designed to keep my man in line
As long as he knows the three-second rule
Ooh, ooh yeah, ooh, ooh yeah
Ooh, ooh yeah, ooh, ooh yeah
Rules mean you only look, but you cannot touch
Anything more would leave it to chance too much
Now the rules weren't made for breakin'
But I'm only askin' for three seconds
Three seconds on the line, I hope it's not askin' too much

It's called a three-second rule
Like the kinda rules you had in school
It's just my three-second rule
It's designed to keep my man in line
As long as he knows the three-second rule
Ooh, ooh yeah, ooh, ooh yeah
Ooh, ooh yeah, ooh, ooh yeah
