Playinwitme Lyrics
[Chorus: KYLE]
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me?
Girl, who are you playin' wit'?
You been on that new stuff
I been on the same shit (Yeah)
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me?
I don't got the time for that
Might need me a refund, haha
I'ma need that time back
[Verse 1: KYLE]
You say you'll try
I've heard that line a thousand times before
I'm not sad, I'm not cryin'
If you mad, that's fine, but I think that I should go
Yeah, why you tryna play me?
You bein' a different you, and I'm bein' the same me
You coulda had Gucci, but now that's Old Navy
And your homegirl wanna date me, she shady, baby
[Chorus: KYLE]
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me?
Girl, who are you playin' wit'? (Yeah, yeah)
You been on that new stuff
I been on the same shit (Yeah)
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me? (With me, with me)
I don't got no time for that
Might need me a refund, yeah
I'ma need that time back
[Verse 2: Kehlani]
Damn, why are you playin' wit' me?
You don't even like girls, ha
So I need you to tell me, baby
What you want, just like the Spice Girls
It's confusin' 'cause you're flirty
But you ain't gon' be the one to say you ever did me dirty
I got pride for that, pay no mind to that
But believe me, if it's fire, I'll make time for that
I'll be faithful, Johnny Cash, walk the line for that
Otherwise, I'll just be single and I'm fine with that, ha
[Chorus: Kehlani]
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me?
Girl, who are you playin' wit'?
You been on that new stuff
And I been on that same shit
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me?
I ain't got no time for that
Might need me a refund
'Cause I'ma need that time back (Aha)
[Post-Chorus: KYLE]
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me?
Girl, who are you playin' wit'?
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me?
Girl, who are you playin' wit'?
[Bridge: Kehlani & KYLE]
Girl, who are you playin' wit'? Yeah
Who? Yeah
Yeah
I been on the same shit
[Chorus: Kehlani, KYLE, Kehlani & KYLE]
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me?
Girl, who are you playin' wit'? Ha
You been on that new stuff
And I been on the same shit
Girl, why are you playin' wit' me? (Woah, woah)

What inspired this song?
My homie Brick was actually making the song. You know, Brick makes slaps. Brick makes big slap. He’s like, “Yo, Kyle I think we got a real big slap on our hands. You should come by the studio.” So, when I came by the studio, and I heard what they were doing, I was like, “Wow. This is big slap.” Some...
How did the song come together?
So, we go in there. Brick is playing the beat. Jake Troth is in there as well. I wrote my verse pretty fuckin' instantaneously. When something is feeling that good and that perfect, it’s … it’s like the songs that come the quickest are not necessarily the “best,“ but the most undeniable. You know wh...
