Lyrics
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
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)
Talking 'bout the playboy (Playboy, playboy)
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
That you may read in the playboy magazine
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, alone)
Talking 'bout the playboy (Playboy, playboy)
Now, I know I haven't got his 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
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'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, alone)
Talking 'bout the playboy (Playboy, playboy)
That's just a playboy (Playboy, playboy)
He ain't nothing but a playboy (Playboy, playboy)
I told ya, he's a playboy (Playboy, playboy)
He ain't nothin' but a playboy (Playboy, playboy)
