about

“Stop Playing” correctly describes a developing relationship in which one person is giving their all to make it work while the other is nonchalantly doing as they please. Despite the underlying heartbreak, the song contains an overall playful and adventurous tone while using smooth falsettos, creative ad libs, and corny yet catchy lyrics.

lyrics

You know what I’m saying?
Don’t do this
Mm mm ahh
Mm mm mm mm ahh

Ah ah ah, I’m just saying
Where would we be right now if you stop playing
Ah ah ah, I’m just saying
Stop playing, girl (Don’t do this)

You, you, you, you not listening (Nah)
You throw back all the words that I’m pitching
I want that love that’s hot, straight from the kitchen
But so many components we missing (We)
I’m simpin’ (I’m)
Time’s ticking (Time)
Not good for each other but it’s tempting
Can’t keep waiting for you to make decisions
In your group chat, is my name being mentioned?

How the girl got a body like whoa (Whoa)
But got vibes like the Arctic cold (Cold)
Let me in, but she just said no (No)
I wanna change her answer
We take a walk and reminisce with laughter
Although you just left, I call you right after
Next day, you try to ghost me like I’m Casper
Wait, what?

Ah ah ah, I’m just saying
Where would we be right now if you stop playing
Where would we be right now if you stop playing (Just stop)
Stop playing, girl (Girl)
Ah ah ah, I’m just saying (Come on)
Where would we be right now if you stop playing
These games (These games)
I’m tired of her
I’m tired of her, I’m tired of her

Gave my all and now it’s too late
Stop tryna drive me away
I know I’m digging my own grave
But I won’t let go of my faith
In your love (In your love)
In your trust (In your trust)
Is this lust? (Is it lust?)
That’s enough

Ah ah ah, I’m just saying (Just saying)
Where would we be right now if you stop playing
Where would we be right now if you stop playing
Stop playing, girl
Ah ah ah, I’m just saying
Where would we be right now if you stop playing (Stop playing)
These games (These games)
I’m tired of her (Girl)

You’re my Jane, I must be Tarzan
Fighting for your love, I’m looking like a Spartan
My heart ruptured into pieces, I got Marfan’s
I’m all burnt out, I know you plotted this arson
