[Verse 1]
Tell him that you're coming back, but don't call him back
No, not right away
That's how you play a playa
Make him think he got you where he wants you
But you're running again
That's how you play a playa

[Pre-Chorus]
If he's cool, play it cooler
Hot, then be hotter
If he onto his tricks, baby, flip the script
If he's sweet, then be sweeter
Treat ya like he needs ya
There's nothing wrong with it, but I'ma tell you this

[Chorus]
Girlfriend, if he keeps coming home five in the morn
Don't be there, be there
That's how you play a playa
And girlfriend, if he gots two cell phones
Get two of your own, so it's fair, it's fair
That's how you play a playa

[Post-Chorus]
That's how you play a playa
Playa, ooh
[Verse 2]
If you think he dirty
Thеn it's time to do some dirt of your own
Ooh, that's how you play a playa
Girl, you got the gamе
Why should you wait until he act like he grown?
That's how you play a playa

[Pre-Chorus]
If he's cool, play it cooler
Hot, then be hotter
If he onto his tricks, baby, flip the script
If he's sweet, then be sweeter
Treat ya like he needs ya
There's nothing wrong with it, but I'ma tell you this

[Chorus]
Girlfriend, if he keeps coming home five in the morn
Don't be there, be there
That's how you play a playa
And girlfriend, if he gots two cell phones
Get two of your own, so it's fair, it's fair
That's how you play a playa

Girlfriend, if he keeps coming home five in the morn
Don't be there, be there
That's how you play a playa
And girlfriend, if he gots two cell phones
Get two of your own, so it's fair, it's fair
That's how you play a playa
[Post-Chorus]
That's how you play a playa

[Bridge]
It's hard to pull the trigger, pull it
It's hard to pull the trigger, pull it
It's hard to pull the trigger, pull it
Put one hand on both triggers

[Chorus]
Girlfriend, if he keeps coming home five in the morn
Don't be there, be there
That's how you play a playa
And girlfriend, if he gots two cell phones
Get two of your own, so it's fair, it's fair
That's how you play a playa

Girlfriend, if he keeps coming home five in the morn
Don't be there, be there
That's how you play a playa
And girlfriend, if he gots two cell phones
Get two of your own, so it's fair, it's fair
That's how you play a playa

[Outro]
A playa
A playa
A playa
Oh, yeah, yeah
