[Lil’ Mo, Carl Thomas - Player Not the Game lyrics]
Start playin'
We gon' talk about these playas
We gon' also talk about this game
Heh, this game
Is somethin' everybody wants to know about
But who's the victim? Is it the playa?
The one bein' played? Or simply this game?
Early in the morning, he wait's by her door
But she's not there, 'cause she don't care
Someone else she adores
And it's a quarter after midnight
The girl's by her phone
But he won't call, and the tears fall
So she sleeps all alone
(We're in a world
That's a ball of confusion)
The feeling is gone, still we keep holding on
(To a love, that is just an illusion)
Get to the back of the line
Love will call you in time
On the kaleidascope of love
People go 'round and 'round in circles
Falling in love and feeling pain
But, it's the playa, not the game
See the parade of smiling faces
No masquerade can fade the shame
Too many tracks to hide the traces
But, it's the playa, not the game
It's not the game
I keep all my feelings in
A dark and deep place never go there
'cause it's so rare true love shows it's face
I stare out my window
When I can't sleep at night
Many voices, many choices
But I know when it's right
(We're in a world
That's a ball of confusion)
The feeling is wrong
Still we keep holding on
(To a love, that is just an illusion)
Fall to the back of the line
Love will call you in time
Blame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)
Not the game
Blame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)
Not the game
Blame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)
Not the game blame it on the playa
(I know it's hard, don't fall apart)
Not the game
Oh, oh, oh
We gon' talk about these playas
We gon' also talk about this game
Heh, this game
Is somethin' everybody wants to know about
But who's the victim? Is it the playa?
The one bein' played? Or simply this game?
Early in the morning, he wait's by her door
But she's not there, 'cause she don't care
Someone else she adores
And it's a quarter after midnight
The girl's by her phone
But he won't call, and the tears fall
So she sleeps all alone
(We're in a world
That's a ball of confusion)
The feeling is gone, still we keep holding on
(To a love, that is just an illusion)
Get to the back of the line
Love will call you in time
On the kaleidascope of love
People go 'round and 'round in circles
Falling in love and feeling pain
But, it's the playa, not the game
See the parade of smiling faces
No masquerade can fade the shame
Too many tracks to hide the traces
But, it's the playa, not the game
It's not the game

Blame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)
Not the game
Blame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)
Not the game blame it on the playa
(I know it's hard, don't fall apart)
Not the game
Oh, oh, oh
