Well my mama and my daddy both told me
When the boy followed me I met
I gotta teach him a lesson, gotta keep him guessing
gotta play a little hard to get
gotta play a little hard to get
gonna let him know
gotta play a little hard to get
when you need him so
people say in love when you mean yes
make him wonder and I'll make him guess
it'll be a lot stronger, it'll last a lot longer
if you play a little hard to get
Well I did what my folks done told me
and I stored up a lot of my charm
but all the good teasing is not so pleasing
all I want is my baby's arm
I don't wanna play hard to get
gotta let him know
I don't wanna play hard to get
cause I need him so
people say in love when I mean yes
make him wonder and I'll make him guess
I can't resist and I wanna be kissed
no use to play hard to get
I don't wanna play hard to get
gotta let him know
I don't wanna play hard to get
cause I want him so
people say in love I mean yes
make him wonder and I'll make him guess
I can't resist and I wanna be kissed
no use to play hard to get
