In order to be a man
You gotta toe the line
And as long as you're able
We'll do just fine
Now my baby should only
Have eyes for me
I know there's sometimes
There's some girls you wanna see
Well that's when my 3 second rule comes into play
You can only look for 3 seconds then
Look away
It's called a 3 second rule
Like the kinda rules you had in school
It's just my 3 second rule
It's designed to keep my man in line
As long as he knows the 3 second rule
Ooh ooh yeah, ooh ooh yeah
When you're walking down
The street, oh oh oh
I see ya havin' a peek
Yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah)
Just stay behind the line and
Within the timeframe
'Cause I'm all you need
That's when my 3 second rule comes into play
You can only look for 3 seconds then
Look away
It's called a 3 second rule
Like the kinda rules you had in school
It's just my 3 second rule
It's designed to keep my man in line
As long as he knows the 3 second rule
Ooh ooh yeah, ooh ooh yeah
Ooh ooh yeah, ooh ooh yeah
Rules mean you only look but you cannot touch
Anything more would leave it to chance too much
Now the rules weren't made for breakin'
But I'm only askin' for 3 seconds
3 seconds on the line
I hope it's not askin' too much
