P L A Y A

He said he was a playa--not PLAYER
He said he wouldn’t be there for me.
But he sure did look nice
Fine-ass brother
With a clean whip
And a touch so unique
It made my toes twitch.

And he said he was a playa
He did not live by the rules
He told me he thought I knew
But he was sugar ‘n spice
---and damn---everything so nice

He could undress me
And make my body melt
into his
Shit, honey, he wasn’t shy
He could give it all
and then some

And, hell, he was playa.

I’d fallen for a playa.
Maybe one day he’d change
And quit messing around.

Playa, playa, freakin’ playa!

Fine-ass,
sex-me-all-night-long
Playa (and not PLAYER)
But he could change
Right?
Was I supposed to sit back
And wait for that
fine-ass fool
to marry me? Hmph!
I should have known better.

But he said he was a playa.
