He's Just A Playboy
[Verse 1]
Hey little girl, I know you're crying
What a bad time to offer my advice
Ah, but no matter how many tears you
shed dear
You'll never melt away his cold, cold
heart of ice
[Chorus]
Whoa, here he comes now (He's just a playboy)
Oh, and he runs (And he runs from girl
to girl)
Trying to prove (To prove he's king of
the world he lives in )
Don't you know he never gives in?
He's got a heart of stone
He operates alone (Alone, alone, alone)
[ Verse 2]
He's well -read, all the latest
information
His experience is known from scene to scene
Ah, but he's as thick as all the pages
Tat you may read in the playboy
magazine
[Chorus]
Whoa, here he comes now He's just a
playboy
Oh, and he runs (And he runs from girl
to girl)
Trying to prove (To prove he's king of
the world he lives in)
Oh, don't you know, he never gives in? He's got a heart of stone
He operates alone (Alone,
alone)
Talking 'bout the playboy (Playboy,
playboy)
[Verse 3]
Now, I know I haven't got the charm
girl
And I'm not familiar with his fancy
ways
But I can give you so much love, girl
The kind of love you know that
always, always, stays
[Chorus]
One more time now (He's just a
playboy)
Oh, and he runs (And he runs from girl
to girl)
Trying to prove (To prove he'e king of
the world he lives in)
Don't you know he never gives in? He's got a heart of stone
He operates alone (Alone, alone,
alone.
