Player
Jenna Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Phone Ringing)
I was in my car singing car karaoke
You pulled up in your Jeep Cherokee
At the stoplight
With the new girl of the night
She looked back in your rearview mirror
Sure, her brown eyes were a stinger
But little does she know
She won′t last either, so

Let's go back to the night where it started
Warning, I left brokenhearted
With my best friend on my arm
And a half-eaten Klondike bar
So I walked in in the wrong room, right time
Saw my boy make out with Adeline
Could not believe my eyes, but now I ain′t surprised, so

(I turned around and he was all like "I'm sorry"
Well, I just turned around again and said
"Hello, yes I'd like to report a player")

This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me
This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me

He′ll win you over with his smooth talk
Soon he′ll wanna meet your mom and pop
But before you can
He'll leave you for the next gem
And if you ask about his ex girl
He′ll say she moved on too well
But before you know it
You'll be gone and ghosted

I turned around and he was all like "I′m sorry"
Well, I just turned around again and said
"Hello, yes I'd like to report a player"

This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me
This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me
This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me
This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me

When he chased me down the driveway
I couldn′t stand to see his face
'Cause he's so oh gorgeous
With a hint of poison, oh

So he texts me this morning and he′s like, "Can I see you tomorrow?"
And I′m like, "Dude, you are such a player, ugh"

This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me
This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me
This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me




This gonna be, this gonna be
This be the last time you play with me

Overall Meaning

The song "Player" by Jenna Davis is a relatable and empowering anthem for anyone who has been played by someone they trusted. The lyrics tell a story of a girl who sees her ex-boyfriend with a new girl and realizes that he's a player who won't last with anyone. The song then recounts her own experience of being played by this same guy, who made out with her best friend while she was there. She decides that this will be the last time he plays with her and that she won't stand for it anymore.


The opening lyrics set the scene of the girl in her car when she sees her ex-boyfriend with a new girl at a stoplight, and the chorus repeats the sentiment that this will be the last time he plays with her. The verses recount her own experience of being played by him, first with her best friend, and then with her. The bridge describes how he tries to win her back, but she realizes that he's just a player and won't change his ways.
