Lyrics
All the girls you got lined up for you think they're number one You never rang me up or nuthin' You're always lying to everyone Your little black book overflows with slain and broken hearts You're just a Romeo. You're just a player You cheat, you lie, you play around in fun as if it's all a game You're shallow, empty, lost inside, For you there won't be any shame The cue outside your door get's longer everyday You're ego's growing more and more than yesterday Playa Playa, Gonna turn that body down Playa Playa, You're just gonna lose your crown Playa Playa, Your whole world turns upside down You're not worth much to yourself or anyone in town

Song Production Information
Bill Hamel
"Playa is a dance floor anthem for all of the girls! You have to get the girls out on the floor, don't ya? Kevin St. Croix has worked with me on many remixes over the last year and half. He's a wicked producer from the Boston area. He really helped and added his own twist to the song. Jules Mari delivers a wicked vocal that's perfect for this track. All in and all I think we created a song that all of the female gamers are gonna love!"
