Too $hort
The Magazine
[Chorus: Chase Hattan]
You only see her in magazines
Look, look at shorty, she follow the dreams
But you can only see her in the magazines
And I hit that all the time

[Verse 1: Too $hort & (Chase Hattan)]
You in love with her, you wanna marry her
Make lots of love and have kids with her
'Cause she's a bad girl, you can't get with her
Unless you go to her job and you tippin' her
(She's a bad girl, yeah)
You fantasize about a lot of things
But the truth is, that's not your dream
That's hers, and that's all she wants
Can't tell nobody so she gots to front
We all gotta have a dream
Staring at things in the magazines
Life ain't fair but it always seems
I never wanna talk when you're callin' me
We have sex but we never kiss
What you gon' do with that wedding dress?
I saw you on stage, you the finest thing
But I still can't buy that diamond ring

[Chorus: Chase Hattan]
You only see her in magazines
Look, look at shorty, she follow the dreams
But you can only see her in the magazines
And I hit that all the time
[Verse 2: Too $hort]
You fell in love young and got married
To some of these girls, that's scary
Stay home, you can't go out now
Stuck in the house on lockdown
Just can't go on like this
'Cause all you get is boring sex
Keep watchin' them porno tapes
You want it but you can't go on no dates
So you stare at the magazines
Dreamin', wishin' you could have those things
But all you do is cook and clean
Feels like somebody just took your dreams (Took your dreams, dreams)
And your husband said it: "It won't happen, forget it"
You laughin', but it ain't so funny
'Cause you know you coulda been a Playboy Bunny

[Chorus: Chase Hattan]
You only see her in magazines
Look at shorty, she follow the dreams
Coulda been a Playboy, coulda been a Playboy Bunny
And I hit that all the time

[Verse 3: Too $hort & (Chase Hattan)]
It feels good when you clap to the music
Can't dance? All you gotta do is two-step
Listen to 'em play that acoustic
We 'bout to do this
You wish and you dream and hope you get things
You want 'em, but nope, it's just dreams
Wake up and don't know what it means
(Coulda been a Playboy Bunny)
We all gotta have a dream
Staring at things in the magazines
Dreaming, wishing you can have those things
[Chorus: Chase Hattan]
You only see her in magazines
Look, look at shorty, she follow the dreams
But you can only see her in the magazines
And I hit that all the time

[Outro: Too $hort & Chase Hattan]
Coulda been a Playboy, Playboy, coulda been a Play
Look, look at shorty, she follow the dreams
Coulda been a Playboy Bunny
But you can only see her in the magazines
And I hit that all the time
