Living my life
What's wrong with me?
I listen for your footsteps in the hallway
I'm waiting for the phone to ring
I know you're taken, baby, but I want you anyway

My own worst enemy
I see the way you push your hair from off her pretty face
And how you look at her
I see you whispering the words that you will never say to me, to me

It's been getting serious
I don't know what I just gotta do to let you in

But these are just the rules of attraction, chemical reaction
You're totally unreachable
Victim of the rules of attraction
Want, but I can't have it
They're always unavailable
Tell me why I'm living my, the rules of attraction

Why can't you see that I will never let you down, or leave you in the dark
With all this unrequited love, I feel like I could drown
It's gonna break my heart

It's been getting serious
I don't know what I just gotta do to let you in

But these are just the rules of attraction, chemical reaction
You're totally unreachable
Victim of the rules of attraction
Want, but I can't have it
They're always unavailable
Tell me why I'm living my, the rules of attraction
I'm loving my, the rules of attraction

[?] Laying beside you
I'll just keep dreaming of your touch
I'll close my eyes and love you from afar

But these are just the rules of attraction, chemical reaction
You're totally unreachable
Victim of the rules of attraction
Want, but I can't have it
But these are just the rules of attraction, chemical reaction

You're totally unreachable
Victim of the rules of attraction
Want, but I can't have it
They're always unavailable
Tell me why I'm living my, the rules of attraction
I'm loving my, the rules of attraction
