I'm a Player - Kool Moe Dee

Hey baby, you think that maybe

We could hang out?

But not today because

I got another date, and I’m already late

But here’s my number, call me, don’t procrastinate

When you get home, pick up the phone

Leave me with a message, don’t leave me with a dial tone

And when I finish hanging out with this girl tonight

I’m calling you, and you better act right

She said, «Hold it, you got a lot of nerve

What makes you think you deserve

A call from me,» and I said «Save it

If you didn’t want my number, you woulda gave it back to me

Right away, and as I walked away, under her breath, I heard her say

«You've got it, I’ll call you later»

You like the way I played her?

I’m nothin' but a player

I’m a player («Ain't no trick»)

Nothin' but a player

I’m a player («Ain't no trick»)

So what, I’m a player, playing the field

If you want me, you better yield

Proceed with caution, without a doubt

I’m the guy your mother warned you about

But I won’t deceive you, love you or leave you

Don’t tell me that you love me ‘cause I won’t believe you

I’m straight up with you so be straight up with me

You could do what you wanna do and let me be what I wanna be

And that’s a player, girl-layer, rhyme sayer

I’m on a mission to prove that today a

Man doesn’t have to lie, unless he’s just an average guy

Lying to girls just to get ‘em in bed

If anybody’s confused, I’ll repeat what I said

I’m a full-fledged player, you better believe it

Now you know what time it is, you can take it or leave it

I’m a player

(«Ain't no trick») («Ain't no trick») I’m a player

(«Ain't no trick») («Ain't no trick»)

You said that I dissed you from the way I speak

Well, I call ‘em as I see ‘em—freak

Wanna play miss prissy innocent with me

When I know what you were doing last week

Riding around all over town, in and out of cars

Now how that sound?

You got a hundred beeper numbers in one phone book

And been with every other guy in town

If a guy has a hundred girls, he’s a hero

A girl with a hundred guys is a zero

Don’t blame me that society made the rule

But I think they made it for me

Varieties are right for me, but ladies in the place

Don’t you even try to be

A player, that’s my J-O-B, and I’m playing it to the T

I’m nothin' but a player

(«Ain't no trick») I’m nothin' but a player

(«Ain't no trick») («1, 2, 3, 4»)

What’s up, baby, we hanging out tonight or what?

No, you’ve got too many women

Yo, wait, wait, wait, whatever you wanna do

Whatever I wanna do?

Alright, bust it

We goin' out to the movies, take a little something to eat or whatever

And we go back to my zone and get busy

Oh, you ain’t wit' it?

What you mean you don’t know me that well?

I met you an hour ago

Nah, nah, nah, I got it, I’ll tell you what

You ain’t wit' it, forget about it

What’s your friend name?

Excuse me, excuse me, come here a second…
