(Watch out!) Oh girls you know we've got to
(Watch out!) Girls you know we've got to
(Watch out! here comes that playboy) Ple-please, playboy
(Watch out! here comes that playboy) Ple-ple-please, playboy
(Watch out! here comes that playboy)
Playboy get away from my door
I heard about the lovers you had before
(You took their love for a game of joy) Oh yeah
(And tossed their hearts around as if it was a toy)
Oh playboy
Well, playboy find yourself another toy
'Cause this is one heart you won't destroy
('Cause I can't stand for what you're puttin' down) Oh yeah
(Fooling around with every girl in town)
Oh playboy
Well, you ain't saying nothing in my book
'Cause this is one fish you'll never ever hook
You left the others standing with their hearts in pain
And now you're coming round trying to do me the same
So playboy I've seen your kind
Winning every girl with that same old line
(So playboy stay away from my door) Oh yeah
(I know about the lovers you had before) Oh yeah
Playboy
Whoa you know you've got to
(Watch out here comes that playboy)
Yes you know you've got to
(Watch out here comes that playboy)
Oh you've got to
(Watch out here comes that playboy)
You better (watch out) you better (watch out)
Well, you ain't saying nothing in my book
'Cause this is one fish you'll never ever hook
You left the others standing with their hearts in pain
And now you're coming round trying to do me the same
So Playboy I've seen your kind
Winning every girl with that same old line
(So playboy stay away from my door) Oh yeah
(I know about the lovers you had before) Oh yeah
Oh Playboy
Whoa you know you better
(Watch out here comes that Playboy)
(Watch out here comes that Playboy)
Watch out for de Playboy
He's bringing you false joy
(Watch out! here comes that playboy) Ple-please, playboy
(Watch out! here comes that playboy) Ple-ple-please, playboy
