[Intro]

("One, two, three, four")

("Ain't no trick")

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

I'm a player ("Ain't no trick")

Nothin' but a player

I'm a player ("Ain't no trick")

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

("Ain't no trick") ("Ain't no trick") I'm a player

("Ain't no trick") ("Ain't no trick")

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

("Ain't no trick") I'm nothin' but a player

("Ain't no trick") ("One, two, three, four")

[Outro]

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
