Roses are red and violets are blue I never met a girl that's quite like you You're all that, I think about you all day Sometimes I wanna chat when I see you in the hallway In school in between cla**es You're either not tryna see me or you need gla**es I make pa**es, you still don't get the picture Tell me baby--what does it take to get with ya? Starin' at the ceiling cause all I do is daydream I ain't playin, but what I'm sayin' may seem Like some line that I'm givin' to ya I'm like a magnet, always stickin' to ya Yet you still show no affection You don't even look in my direction So what's up with that, baby? I got a question, why you tryna play me? You used to pay a visit, I ask myself what is it You used to be gentle, polite and quite exquisite It's strange, changed like the weather We stood together like two birds of a feather Now it's like you never saw me You don't even take the time to try to call me I'm willin' to give it another try But what's up with that other guy? You thought I was slippin' You better get a grip and stop trippin' Fancy clothes and cars don't flatter me I ain't the one to get charged like a battery You tried to use to get what you want You know you're with it, so don't front That's word, no ifs, and or maybes So why you tryna play me As I watch rain drip off the pane-- of my window Girls be tryna play me like Nintendo But that's only if I let 'em Maybe that's why I try not to sweat 'em Even if you're beautiful I still rather chill with a girl that's suitable Not sayin' I'm all that and some I want a girl that's not out for my income Someone intelligent and all smart Not the kind that'll play with your mind and break your heart But still I'm tryna figure out what happened Out of the blue you start snappin' Givin' up a dumb excuse Tellin' your friends you cut me loose So what's up with that, baby I got a question, why you try to play me?
