[verse 1] Cards on the table, dice in my hand I change the rules, you don’t understand Laugh when I lean in, call it a dare Every little move pulls you into my snare [pre-chorus] It’s just a game, but you feel it too Every house rule’s made to tie me to you [chorus] These are my house rules, play if you stay Lose and you’re closer, win and I’ll play Every roll, every move, every touch is true House rules — I made them for you [verse 2] Pour one more glass, keep the score tight Your smile slips when I call you out tonight Penalties linger, dares go too far Every laugh is a line we already crossed [pre-chorus] It’s just a game, but you feel it too Every house rule’s made to tie me to you [chorus] These are my house rules, play if you stay Lose and you’re closer, win and I’ll play Every roll, every move, every touch is true House rules — I made them for you [bridge — whispered] Tell me your secret, truth or lie Close your eyes, I’ll show you why You’ll never win — but you’ll never want to Every rule I made, I made for you [final chorus] These are my house rules, play if you stay Every risk is worth the price we pay Every roll, every move, every touch is true House rules — I made them for you
