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]
