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
