[Intro]
Breakin' all the rules
Breakin' all the rules

[Verse 1]
Something's moving me to turn my life around
Excitement sparks my energy, there's no holding me down

[Pre-Chorus]
When they tell me that a little is enough
And it's tough, oh-oh, I can't give up
Got no limits and I wanna strut my stuff

[Chorus]
I'm standing up — mmm
Breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
Stand up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm — breakin' all the rules
Mmm
[Verse 2]
No more "shirts and ties" rule my every move, mmm-mmm
They look so good behind a desk
But do they understand my groove? Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Life's a party for the ones who wanna play
But don't stay if your work gets in the way
Loosen up, let's get crazy for a change

[Chorus]
Stand up — mmm
Breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
I'm standing up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
Standing up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
Stand up, hey — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
[Bridge]
Don't get me wrong, I'm not planning to get over for free
I'll pay my dues but I wanna get what's coming to me
You know exactly what I mean
I've learned my lessons and I've played the game by everybody's rules
Ha, I've got to call timeout — a change is overdue
So I'm breakin' (Breakin' the rules)

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
So when they tell me that a little is enough
I get rough, oh, I can't give up
I got no limits and I'm gonna strut my stuff

[Chorus]
I'm standing up — mmm
Breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
Breakin' all the rules
I'm standing up, hey — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules

[Outro]
Gotta say it again — mmm
Breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
I'm standing up, mmm — mmm, ah
I'm breakin' all the rules
Oh up — mmm
I'm breakin' all the rules
Woo
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
Stand up and gather 'round
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
Can't nobody hold me down
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
I'm breakin'
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
Ha
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
Stand up and gather 'round
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
Can't nobody hold me down
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
I'm breakin' in
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
Breakin' all the rules
Mmm — I'm breakin' all the rules
Oh up
