Lil' Mo - The Playa Not The Game Lyrics
[intro]Start playin'We gon' talk about these playasWe gon' also talk about this gameHeh, this gameIs somethin' everybody wants to know aboutBut who's the victim?Is it the playa?The one bein' played?Or simply this game?Early in the morning, he waits by her doorBut she's not there, cuz she don't careSomeone else she adoresAnd it's a quarter after midnightThe girl's by her phoneBut he won't call, and the tears fallSo she sleeps all alone(we're in a world, that's a ball of confusion)The feeling is gone, still we keep holding on(to a love, that is just an illusion)Get to the back of the lineLove will call you in time1 - on the kaleidascope of lovePeople go 'round and 'round in circlesFalling in love and feeling painBut it's the playa, not the gameSee the parade of smiling facesNo masquerade can fade the shameToo many tracks to hide the tracesBut it's the playa, not the gameIt's not the gameI keep all my feelings in a dark and deep placeNever go there, cuz it's so rare true love shows it's faceI stare out my window, when i can't sleep at nightMany voices, many choices, but i know when it's right(we're in a world, that's a ball of confusion)The feeling is wrong, still we keep holding on(to a love, that is just an illusion)Fall to the back of the lineLove will call you in timeRepeat 1Blame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)Not the gameBlame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)Not the gameBlame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)Not the gameBlame it on the playa (i know it's hard, don't fall apart)Not the gameOh, oh, ohRepeat 1 w/ ad-libs to fade
