Jimmy has a girlfriend
They play in the schoolyard
He gives her his cookie at lunch
She wears her hand-me-down
Faded flannel run-arounds
Jimmy he has more than enough
But money doesn’t catch a ball and
That’s what matters after all here
They didn’t set the boundaries
They didn’t draw that line
They only know how they feel inside
Maybe they’re young and learnin’
Oh no but they’re no fools
Here in their little world
Love rules
Jimmy’s outa school now
He’s gettin’ married
Met the girl he’s been dreamin’ of
’round here the locals frown
On people from her side of town
They know how to make it rough
The only thing that’s goin’ down
Is the love that they have found here
They didn’t set the boundaries
They didn’t draw that line
They only know how they feel inside
Maybe they’re young and learnin’
Oh no but they’re no fools
Here in their little world
Love rules
Oh sweet blindness
All those lines just fade away
It only starts when your heart leads the way
They didn’t set the boundaries
They didn’t draw that line
They only know how they feel inside
Maybe they’re young and learnin’
Oh no but they’re no fools
Here in their little world
Love rules
