[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]
