Yeah, I'm a player but I'm not boastin 'bout it
No, instead, I'll tell you a story, not very proud of it
I meet lots of women and give 'em a good time
Bring 'em back to my place for some play time
I take down their number pretendin' that I'll call
But I never do, 'cause I'm a player and that's what I do
Whoa ooo oh oh oh oh yeah
Cause I'm a player, and that's what I do
Dooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo yeah
And that's what I do
Dooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo yeah
But one night, I met this girl who changed my game
She looked right through me, saw my ways and my shame
She said, "You think you're winning, but you're really just lost
You break all these hearts, without counting the cost
Now I'm stuck with this guilt that I can't shake off
A player in disguise, but my heart's feeling soft
What I'd do
Ooo oh oh oh oh yeah
Cause I'm a player, and that's what I do
Dooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
Can't run from the truth, it's coming for me
These broken hearts I've left are all I see
No more hiding behind a mask so tough
Being a player ain't really enough
I used to laugh it off, thought I was the king
But those empty nights, they don't mean a thing
I thought I had it all, the thrill of the chase
But now I'm searching for more than just a pretty face
Reflection in the mirror, a stranger I see
And all those broken hearts, they keep haunting me
Can't run from the truth, it's coming for me
These broken hearts I've left are all I see
No more hiding behind a mask so tough
Being a player ain't really enough
I used to laugh it off, thought I was the king
But those empty nights, they don't mean a thing
So I made a decision, time to turn the tide
No more playing games, no more hearts to divide
I reached out to the girl who saw through my charade
And asked for forgiveness for the mess that I've made
Can't run from the truth, it's coming for me
These broken hearts I've left are all I see
No more hiding behind a mask so tough
Being a player ain't really enough
No more hiding behind a mask so tough
Being a player ain't really enough
I've seen the damage, felt the regret
Now it's time to change, I won't forget
Gonna right my wrongs, start anew
Look for love that's genuine and true
So here's my story, no glory in playin' games
Learned the hard way, through heartache and shame
I look ahead, with a heart that's sincere
No more empty nights, it's love I hold dear
To all the hearts I've hurt, I'm truly sorry
This player's chapter ends, and a new one begins today
