Dua Lipa is the debut
studio album by English singer Dua Lipa. It was released on 2 June 2017 by Warner

and self-empowerment.
The album has spawned six

than Hell", "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)" and "New Rules",
with the latter becoming Lipa's first number-one single. The record received
positive reviews from music critics.
(One,
one, one)
Talkin'
in my sleep at night
Makin'
myself crazy
(Out
of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote
it down and read it out
Hopin'
it would save me
(Too
many times, too many times)
My
love, he makes me feel like nobody else
Nobody
else
But
my love, he doesn't love me so I tell myself
I
tell myself
One,
don't pick up the phone
You
know he's only calling
'Cause
he's drunk and alone
Two,
don't let him in
You
have to kick him out again
Three,
don't be his friend
You
know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'
And
if you're under him
You
ain't getting over him
I
got new rules, I count 'em
I
got new rules, I count 'em
I
gotta tell them to myself
I
got new rules, I count 'em
I
gotta tell them to myself
I
keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps pullin' me backwards
(Nowhere
to turn) no way
(Nowhere
to turn) no
Now
I'm standing back from it, I finally see the pattern
(I
never learn, I never learn)
But
my love, he doesn't love me so I tell myself
I
tell myself
I
do, I do, I do
One,
don't pick up the phone
You
know he's only calling
'Cause
he's drunk and alone
Two,
don't let him in
You
have to kick him out again
Three,
don't be his friend
You
know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'
And
if you're under him
You
ain't getting over him
I
got new rules, I count 'em
I
got new rules, I count 'em
I
gotta tell them to myself
I
got new rules, I count 'em
I
gotta tell them to myself
Practice
makes perfect
I'm
still tryna' learn it by heart
(I
got new rules, I count 'em)
Eat,
sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse
and repeat it, 'cause I
(I
got new, I got new, I got new)
One,
don't pick up the phone
You
know he's only calling
'Cause
he's drunk and alone
Two,
don't let him in
You
have to kick him out again
Three,
don't be his friend
You
know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'
And
if you're under him
You
ain't getting over him
I
got new rules, I count 'em
I
got new rules, I count 'em
I
gotta tell them to myself
I
got new rules, I count 'em
(Baby,
you know I count 'em)
I
gotta tell them to myself
Don't
let him in, don't let him in
Don't,
don't, don't, don't
Don't
be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't,
don't, don't, don't
Don't
let him in, don't let him in
Don't,
don't, don't, don't
Don't
be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't,
don't, don't
You
gettin' over him.
