[Chorus}
I don't know what you been told
But you should know the player, ooh
Boy let go, when I say so
It seems you want me to take-


[Verse 1]
Say you want me anyway, do ya?
You can handle all this fame, can ya?
Like me just the way I are
Just the way I, way I are, yeah, yeah
You would like me anyway, would ya?
You won't let me get away, won't ya?
Like me just the way I are
Say you don't wanna be a star, do you?


[Pre-Chorus]
We step out on a Friday night
New front page, it's a cute headline
I made you a thing, like, "Who's that guy?"
Say you ain't in it for the spotlight, boy

[Chorus]
I don't know what you been told
But you should know the player, ooh
Boy let go, when I say so
It seems you want me to take-
I don't know what you been told
But you should know the player, ooh
Boy let go, when I say so
It seems you want me to take-
[Verse 2]
Cover on a magazine in just two weeks
"Boy to watch", ain't he just, just too sweet?
Now he ain't even got time for me
I only see him on the big screen
Woke up at like five, and boy, you wasn't here
When it's my fault, she even knows that you're there
Was I just a transition?
Boy, remember where you come from



[Pre-Chorus
We step out on a Friday night
New front page, it's a cute headline
I made you a thing, like, "Who's that guy?"
Say you ain't in it for the spotlight, boy



[Chorus]
I don't know what you been told
But you should know the player, ooh
Boy let go, when I say so
It seems you want me to take-
I don't know what you been told
But you should know the player, ooh
Boy let go, when I say so
It seems you want me to take-

[Outro]
I don't know what you been told
But you should know the player, ooh
Boy let go, when I say so
It seems you want me to take-
I don't know what you been told
But you should know the player, ooh
Boy let go, when I say so
It seems you want me to take-
