[Verse 1]
Who is the man
Makin' the scene, flashin' the green
Livin' it up and living up to his name?
Who wants some
Lovers' gold, silver tone?
Givin' it up is his claim to fame
[Chorus]
I'm a mystery man, doin' what I can
With a continental, international plan
(So) Come on now, it's on now
This player's here to stay now
(Let me break it down, make you understand)
Don't you know your history?
I'm feenin', I'm leanin'
This player's here to stay
You're a woman, I'm your man
It ain't no mystery
[Verse 2]
Who is the guy
Lookin' bad, I mean bad?
Makin' it up as he goes and he knows
That you'll come around
Turn that frown upside-down
Breakin' it up before he gets too old
[Chorus]
I'm a mystery man, doin' what I can
With a continental, international plan
(So) Come on now, it's on now
This player's here to stay now
(Let me break it down, make you understand)
Don't you know your history?
I'm feenin', I'm leanin'
This player's here to stay
You're a woman, I'm your man
It ain't no mystery
[Bridge]
(That's right)
Bikinis, cars, cigars, and danger
Martini hangovers, he ain't no stranger
To London, Paris, New York, and Japan
I'm bringing home the bacon in a fryin' pan
L.A., Rio, and Chinatown
If you're down, then I'm your
[Chorus]
Mystery man, doin' what I can
With a continental, international plan
(So) Come on now, it's on now
This player's here to stay now
(Let me break it down, make you understand)
Don't you know your history?
I'm feenin', I'm leanin'
This player's here to stay
You're a woman, I'm your man
It ain't no mystery
Who is the man
Makin' the scene, flashin' the green
Livin' it up and living up to his name?
Who wants some
Lovers' gold, silver tone?
Givin' it up is his claim to fame

Don't you know your history?
I'm feenin', I'm leanin'
