The Player

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

You call me up at two

I already know the lines

Say you been thinking bout me

Say it's different this time

But I've heard that tone before

From someone standing at my door

Wanting nothing more than a warm place to land

Pre-Chorus

You play me like a song you know

Every single word by heart

You play me like a song you know

Then you skip right past the part

Chorus

I know the game you're running

I know the game so well

You say my name so easy

Like it's a story you can tell

I know the game you're running

I wrote it line by line

You think you're the player

But I been playing you all this time

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

La la la

Oh-oh

La la la

Verse 2

You got your whole act down

The shrug the smile the pause

I count the seconds til you fade

I know exactly where you go

Cause I mapped it years ago

Every exit every road

You never once surprised me

No no

Pre-Chorus

You play me like a song you know

Every single word by heart

You play me like a song you know

Then you skip right past the part

Chorus

I know the game you're running

I know the game so well

You say my name so easy

Like it's a story you can tell

I know the game you're running

I wrote it line by line

You think you're the player

But I been playing you all this time

Bridge

Maybe you should go

Maybe I should let you go

Maybe you should go

And watch me let you go

Chorus

I know the game you're running

I know the game so well

You say my name so easy

Like a story you can tell

I know the game you're running

I wrote it line by line

You think you're the player

But I been playing you all this time

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

La la la

Oh-oh

La la la
