Don't Play Around

[Verse 1] He stuck that knife right into her gut I wanna tell you she was lucky with what she got But what she got was not enough [Chorus] She played around Don't play around [Verse 2] I tried to tell her he was not so dumb I tried to warn her there was somethin' wrong She wouldn't listen, she continued on [Chorus] She played around Don't play 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 [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] He left her dyin' in the pool of blood And she was cryin', "Oh my God, oh my God" But she was no good, she was no good [Chorus] She played around Don't play around She'd be laughin' and dancin' the night away She'd be laughin' and dancin' with every man that came her way But as her life's blood slipped away, I thought I heard her say "Don't play around Don't play around" [Post-Chorus] Oh, don't play around Don't play around [Guitar Solo]
