He stuck that knife right into her gut

I want to tell you she was lucky with what she got

But what she got was not enough

She played around

Don't play around

I tried to tell her he was not so dumb

I tried to warn her there was something wrong

She wouldn't listen, she continued on

She played around

If you give your love to someone and someone treats you bad

If you give your love to someone and someone makes you mad

If you give your love to someone it can be so sad

Don't play around

Don't play around

He left her dying in the pool of blood

And she was crying oh my god oh my god

But she was no good, she was no good

She played around

Don't play around

She'd be laughing and dancing the night away

She'd be laughing and dancing with every man that came away

But as her life's blood slipped away

I thought I heard her say

Don't play around

Don't play around
