Player

[Verse 1]
I know all your pain
You know all the games I like to play
To keep you in chains
To keep you far enough away
Cause the closer you get, the more time I spend tryna get you to stay
I know how to play, and trust me, babe, it's a dangerous game
I hear you complain how all I am is fake
Well, sorry baby, you just raised the stakes

[Chorus]
I've been a player in games like this and I've figured out how to win
You push and you pull, you bend and you break
Well, is your glass full or will you continue to take?

[Verse 2]
I don't think guys understand, girls can be real fine
But if you catch us at the wrong time
You might end up as bones on a wind chime
Cause boy, I've been a player in games like this
It always ends with walls catching my fists

[Chorus]
I've been a player in games like this and I've figured out how to win
You push and you pull, you bend and you break
Well, is your glass full or will you continue to take?

[Bridge]
Do you intend to leave my heart unable to mend
The more time you spend, tryna mess with my head
The better the chance you'll end up dead, because baby....

[Chorus]
I've been a player in games like this and I've figured out how to win
You push and you pull, you bend and you break
Well, is your glass full or will you continue to take?

[Outro]
Spoken: You see, I've never been to a ball or a palace
Or eaten ice cream out of a chalice
But I've seen enough movies to know that you better hope
You'll never end up the target of a vengeful girl's malice
