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]
