I'm a player..... girl i thought you knew
When you started messin around with me, knew i wouldn't commit to you
Cause i'm a player...... and i know you can't see it in my eyes......
Everyone says that i'm innocent, and it should come as no surprise....
That i'm a player........... and i really think you need to know
That i can't love you right now baby, 'cause i need more time to grow.......

But when i do get ready to settle down....
Baby the first one i'm calling is you
Oh....... when i do get ready to settle down,
Baby the first one i'm calling is you
But until then.........

I'm a player, and i've traveled all around the world,
I've broken many hearts, and it really hurts to say this to you girl
But i'm a player........ and it's kinda sad that it has to be this way,
But i don't wanna lock oyou down until i'm ready, so right now, i'm gonna play......

But when i do get ready to settle down....
Baby the first one i'm calling is you
Oh....... when i do get ready to settle down,
Baby the first one i'm calling is you
But until then.........

But when i do get ready to settle down....
Baby the first one i'm calling is you
Oh....... when i do get ready to settle down,
Baby the first one i'm calling is you
But until then.........
