Lock clicks, city lights bleeding through the blinds, Whole damn world disappears when you step inside, No phones, no noise, leave the bullshit at the door, We built a little kingdom nobody can explore. You know that look, I know exactly what it means, Black dress, bare confidence, walking through the scene, Years together, still you hit me like the first night, Marriage on the left hand, trouble in your eyes. We don’t need permission, don’t need nobody’s view, Every rule written here was made by me and you, No pretending for the crowd, no playing some role, You get every side of me—the fire and the soul. We can laugh, get loud, let the whole night breathe, Say exactly what we want, wear our hearts on our sleeves, Outside we’re responsible, schedules and demands, But once that doorway closes, tonight is in our hands. [Hook] House rules—leave the outside outside, House rules—ain’t a damn thing here to hide, House rules—your truth, my truth, no disguise, Same two lovers with a different kind of night. No judgment, no witnesses, nothing left to prove, Just trust, temptation, and whatever we choose, They can keep their opinions—we got nothing to lose, Behind these closed doors, baby, we make the rules. [Verse 2] Rule one: keep it real even when the truth burns, Rule two: give it back every ounce that you earn, Rule three: never let the everyday kill the flame, Still chase each other down like we’re learning our names. Rule four: if you’re dreaming, put the dream on the table, No shame in this house, say whatever you’re able, Rule five: when life gets heavy and the pressure gets cruel, Remember why we started—never let the world rule. Champagne on the counter, old records playing low, Your heels by the doorway, red light giving glow, Not another fantasy that’ll disappear at dawn, This is built on something deeper—that’s what makes it strong. Every secret conversation, every midnight confession, Every year made the bond into a beautiful obsession, We’re not running from our vows—we’re writing chapters anew, Keeping love dangerous enough to still feel brand-new. [Hook] House rules—leave the outside outside, House rules—ain’t a damn thing here to hide, House rules—your truth, my truth, no disguise, Same two lovers with a different kind of night. No judgment, no witnesses, nothing left to prove, Just trust, temptation, and whatever we choose, They can keep their opinions—we got nothing to lose, Behind these closed doors, baby, we make the rules. [Verse 3] Morning comes eventually, curtains catching gold, But the best damn stories are the ones never told, Coffee on the nightstand, your head against my chest, Wild enough to lose control, secure enough to rest. That’s the contradiction that nobody understands, Freedom ain’t escaping when you’re holding someone’s hand, It’s knowing you can show them every version underneath, And they still choose forever when there’s nothing left to see. So hang the rules up proudly, let ‘em frame another night, Love doesn’t have to fade just because you did it right, We can raise a family, build a life, carry weight, Then shut that bedroom door and still remember how to date. No strangers in the story, no replacing what we built, Just a husband and his woman with a taste for something real, Ten tracks telling secrets, but this chapter sets the mood— Welcome to our house, motherfucker—we make the rules. [Final Hook] House rules—leave the outside outside, House rules—still choosing you every damn night, House rules—no masks and no disguise, Same two lovers keeping something wild alive. No judgment, no witnesses, nothing left to prove, Every line we cross is one we both choose, Let the whole world talk—we got nothing to lose, This is our love. This is our house. We make the rules.
