Players (Only Love You When They're Playing)

No doubt I'm the one your mama
Warned you about
I'm known for taking ladies home
And turning them out
Like kissing all the girlies and
Making them cry
I'm a wise guy with wits
The opposite of shy
Make your girl's pussy shiver
When she looks in my eyes
So uh
One's for the money
Two's for the honeys
Three's for the pimp's players
And the playboy bunnies
You best believe I throw down
Ain't no need to slow down
You name the place and the time
Find Mr. Shifty at the showdown
Tearing you up
That's why all the fly girls
Just can't get enough
Said I loved you
And you believed it was true
That's hilarious
But your mother should have
Warned you about
Guys like us.

Freak, freak y'all
Yeah, you know what I'm saying
'Cause players only love you
When we're playing.

[Chorus:]
Now players only love you
When we're playing
These women
They will come
And they will go
And all you players know just
What I'm saying
It's amazing just how many
Girls we know.

I know it ain't right
But I don't want to change
I've got so many dames
I can't remember their names
But don't be confused
'Cause girls are players too
So, we're going to tell you
About a girl we knew
She was a pretty rebel
A punk rock girl
With a wicked sex drive
And the mind of a devil
Like Agent 99
Under cover all the time
You want another kiss
You better rack another line
Unique in design
This freak was kind of fine
But she's not the only one
There's plenty of her kind
Ain't nothing funny baby
Her game's so tight
She can make the sun shine
In the middle of the night
She knows what she wants
And she gets it when
She wants it
She knows that you want it
She's got it, so she flaunts it
So, get up on it
You know the old saying
Players only love you
When they're playing.

[Chorus]

Only the strong survive
I come alive and hit my mark
The after dark player caper
Can't lie, I'm on the take
A heartbreaker tonight
The ladies call me Mr. Right
And others call me a freak
Girl, it's okay if you bite
Some like it violent
Mr. Mysterious type
Strong and silent
King player
I cast a hex
Inebriated talk of sex.

(Epic, I'm so into you)

Manipulation
I'm talking triple X rated
Sophisticated
I'm game to elevate your mind
An understated flirt
The chemistry's hot
You can't deny
So realize the size of it
I can see it in your eyes
I'd love to touch you baby
And taste the essence of you.

You want to play?
Now, let me hear you scream
Out my name
Players only love you when
They're playing.

[Chorus]
