The Player
[Intro: Joss Stone, Joss Stone & Backing Vocalists]
He's a player, don't you know?
Watch out, watch out

[Verse 1]
Girls, I'm telling you
He'll be knocking at your door
If you let him in one time
You gotta go back for more
He drives around at night
Living in his fancy car
Breaking hearts from left to right
He don't care who you are

[Chorus: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists]
'Cause he's a player, ooh, la, la, la, oh-oh-oh
Player
He'll get next to you
He'll get next to you
'Cause he's a player, ooh, la, la, la, oh-oh-oh
He's a player
This is what he's gonna do
This is what he's gonna do
He'll shoot you down
Gonna shoot you down
Right down to the ground
Right down to the ground
He'll shoot you down
Shoot you down
Right down to the ground
Down to the ground
[Post-Chorus: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists, All]
Ooh-ooh
La, la, la
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Girls, I'm warning you
He'll have you eating out the palm of his hand
His lovin' is addictive
You'll never want another man
He'll wine you and he'll dine you
He'll say you're the only one
He'll take your heart, tear it apart
Then he'll be on the run

[Chorus: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists]
'Cause he's a player, ooh, la, la, la, oh-oh-oh
He's a player
He'll get next to you
He'll get next to you
'Cause he's a player, ooh, la, la, la, oh-oh-oh
Player
This is what he's gonna do
This is what he's gonna do
He'll shoot you down
Gonna shoot you down
Right down to the ground
Right down to the ground
He'll shoot you down
Right down to the ground
Down to the ground
[Bridge: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists]
Cold-blooded son of a gun, yes, he is
Yes, he is
Cold-blooded son of a gun, yes, he is
Oh-ho-oh
He'll shoot you down
Gonna shoot you down
Right down to the ground
He'll shoot you down
He's gonna shoot you down
Right down to the ground

[Refrain: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists, All]
He's a player, don't you know?
Watch out
Don't you know, ladies?
He's a player, don't, don't you know?
Watch out
Watch out, ladies

[Bridge: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists]
Cold-blooded son of a gun, that's what he is
That's what he is
He'll shoot you down
He's gonna shoot you down
Right down to the ground
Right down to the ground
Cold-blooded son of a gun, that's what he is
That's what he is
He'll shoot you down
He's gonna shoot you down, shoot you down
Right down to the ground
Down to the ground
[Chorus: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists]
'Cause he's a player, ooh, la, la, la, oh-oh-oh
He's a player
He'll get next to you
He'll get next to you
'Cause he's a player, ooh, la, la, la, oh-oh-oh
This is what he'll do
He'll shoot you down
He's gonna shoot you down
Right down to the ground
Right down to the ground, oh-ho-oh-oh
He'll shoot you down
Right down to the ground
Right down to the ground, down to the ground

[Outro: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists]
Ooh, la la la, oh-oh-oh
He's a player, don't you know?
Watch out
Ooh, la, la, la, oh-oh-oh
Player
Ooh, la, la, la, oh-oh-oh
Player, player
He's a player, don't you know?
Player, player
Watch out
Player
Ooh, la la la, oh-oh-oh
Player, player, player
That's what he is
Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-ooh
