[Intro]
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Verse 1]
Why you talking all that talk?
Who you trying to impress?
Think you better check your style
That might have worked before, but I ain't having it
Show me that you got the touch
Hear the words that I don't say
Gotta read between the lines
You gotta learn this song 'cause

[Chorus]
I wanna be played
Like a sweet guitar
Played like a slow jam in the dark
Up on the roof
You know what to do To get to me
I wanna be played
Like a violin
Make the string talk with your finger tips
Never go too fast, gotta understand
The way I need to be played

[Verse 2]
It's not about The way you wrote
You're making it too obvious
Try to be original
You gotta learn me, Don't be in such a rush
I can be your symphony
Listen to me all night long
If you give me what I need
I can be your favorite song

[Chorus]
I wanna be played
Like a sweet guitar
Played like a slow jam in the dark
Up on the roof
You know what to do To get to me
I wanna be played
Like a violin
Make the string talk with your finger tips
Never go too fast, gotta understand
The way I need to be played

[Bridge]
You make it just like that
Come on, do it again
We're gonna get this right
Even if it takes all night

[Interlude]
Ooh
Oh oh
Yeah, eah, yeah
Yeah
Do you feel me?
That's right
Take it nice and slow

[Chorus]
I wanna be played
Like a sweet guitar
Played like a slow jam in the dark
Up on the roof
You know what to do To get to me
I wanna be played
Like a violin
Make the string talk with your finger tips
Never go too fast, gotta understand
The way I need to be played
Played
Like a sweet guitar
Played like a slow jam in the dark
Up on the roof
You know what to do To get to me
I wanna be played
Like a violin
Make the string talk with your finger tips
Never go too fast
