You can make me do right or you can make me do wrong
 If you really mean that I'm the best thing you've ever found
 You can prove it by being true and never playing around

 But just like you can cheat on me I can cheat on you
 (I can cheat on you)
 There's no rule that says the game of love can't be played by two

 You can go shopping in the streets trying to bargain up something new
 But what's out there for you men
 Oh it's out there for us women too
 Like a dog that prowls around, prowls around and licks at his bone
 If the shoe don't fit the size oh why keep trying it on

 Cause just like you can cheat on me I can cheat on you
 (I can cheat on you)
 There's no rule that says the game of love can't be played by two

 Like the old saying of give and take
 You're never too old to learn (learn)
 But when you start putting your hand in the fire
 You know you're gonna get burned (burned)
 Let me tell you
 If you do unto me as I do unto you (you)
 There ain't no chance for this romance to ever be broken in two

 Cause just like you can cheat on me I can cheat on you
 (I can cheat on you)
 There's no rule that says the game of love can't be played by two

 You see I've been hurt so many times
 But somehow I pulled through
 But the stakes of love are much too high for me to gamble with you
 You know I'm not playing hard to get
 But I want you to understand
 If you want a do right woman
 Oh you got to be a do right man

 But just like you can cheat on me I can cheat on you
 (I can cheat on you)
 There's no rule that says the game of love can't be played by two

 If you want a do right woman
 You got to come on in and do right
 Say I'll play if you want to play
 Oh that's what it's all about
 Everybody's talking about liberation
 Oh I don't believe
 But I believe in a man doing right
 Oh everything a woman does new

 But just like you can cheat on me I can cheat on you
 (I can cheat on you)
 There's no rule that says the game of love can't be played by two

 If you want a do right woman
 You got to come on in and do right
 Say I'll play if you want to play
 Oh that's what it's all about
 Everybody's talking about liberation
 I don't believe
 But I believe in a man doing right
 Everything a woman does new
