Lyrics

Play to Win

[Verse 1]

So your friends got you thinkin' that it's all sewn up

Well I got news for you, yeah, I've had enough

You been comin' on lately like you've got it made

Well now here's a twist, you better hit it, babe

[Chorus]

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous

And I always play to win

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous

Don't mess with me, you can't take it

And I always play to win

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous

[Verse 2]

You were lookin' for a lover just to pass the time

I suppose not gettin' lucky never crossed your mind

Bet you never thought lovin' me would be so rough

Oh, but can you turn me on before I write you off?

Yeah

[Chorus]

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous

And I always play to win

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous

Don't mess with me, you can't take it

And I always play to win

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous, dangerous

[Chorus]

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous

And I always play to win

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous

Don't mess with me, you can't take it

And I always play to win

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous, yeah

[Outro]

Don't mess with me 'cause I'm dangerous

And I always play

I always play

I always play to win
