P.L.A.Y.I.N.G

She's a star, intergalactic

Lighting up this night, so dramatic

Her eyes on me, straight through me

This girl's about to turn my key

And I said, "Hey, caught you lookin' my way

Are you for real or P-L-A-Y-I-N-G with me?

Uh-huh

Don't wanna fool around, no

Darlin', is this love we found?"

But she said

And the girl's like

"Boy, you never met me

Think you get me?

Just forget me, okay?

Not gonna give it up for you"

I thought you were a star, best from afar

Close, no cigar

Okay, I guess I'm givin' up on you

She's a gun, a loaded gun

Trigger happy fun, provocation

I see that smile, her invitation

Hits me like a prison guard

I say, "Hey, is that gun pointing my way?

Are you my shot or P-L-A-Y-I-N-G with me?

Uh-huh

If you're up to get down, girl

This body could be your playground"

But she said

And the girl's like

"Boy, you never met me

Think you get me?

Just forget me, okay?

Not gonna give it up for you"

I thought you were a gun

Up for some fun, but now I'm done

Okay, I guess I'm giving up on you

I'm tired of talkin' 'bout the way I feel

Don't need words for startin' something real

But who's this walking to me

As if they always knew me?

A little wink and then a smile as we say

And I promise you

All the words up in my head

Are better left unsaid

Words designed to charm, they may disarm

But that love always runs out

It runs out

It runs out

Must be another way around

And so we danced that night

All night together, now here we are

P-L-A-Y-I-N-G
