Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crib, got it
Job, on it
Did I ever
Ask you to take me to go
Shopping in Paris or go
Sailing overseas and just
Drape me in Gucci? No
Pick up the phone when you alone
All I ever asked was you to
Show me some love, kisses and hugs
No, I never had an issue
Go to the club with your boys, baby, I
Never wanted you to stay too long
Just wanted you to show me off
So won't you say my name, say my name?
If you claim you want me, it ain't no thang
You actin' kinda shady
You ain't been callin' me baby, oh
Boy, you can gon' stop playing games
Playing games
I know you say you hit my line
I'm on your mind, and that
You want this bad
So I'm cool with that
I'm just tryna match your words with your actions
I need more than satisfaction
Is you really 'bout that action?
You really wanna give your all
But flex in front of your friends
How that work?
Swear that you doin' the most
But we take a picture, can't post it
How that work?
Quit your talkin', back that shit up
Won't you say my, say my
So won't you say my name, say my name?
If you claim you want me, it ain't no thang
You actin' kinda shady
You ain't been callin' me baby, oh
Boy, you can gon' stop playing games (yeah)
Playing games (yeah)
I blow your mind, honey (damn)
Say it one time, honey (goddamn)
Sick of 'em lies
Tell 'em goodbye
Get in my ride
I wanna come by
I wanna just listen
Get in your vibe
Get in your feelings
Get in your
I get in your feelings
Not in your business
I wanna get kisses
And I wanna get
I wanna get with you, yeah
I wanna get him out of the picture, yeah
I made it my mission, yeah
And despite the difference, yeah
Me, I'm never actin' shady
You will always be my baby
You'll be my baby, yeah, yeah
The lyrics of "Playing Games" by Summer Walker featuring Bryson Tiller, tell the story of a tumultuous relationship where one person craves love and attention from their partner. In the first verse, Summer questions her man's intentions, pointing out that she never asked for lavish gifts or trips, all she wanted was for him to pick up the phone and show her some love. She feels neglected, and his absence is indicative of his lack of interest in the relationship. Summer wants him to claim her publicly by calling her name, and not playing games.
In the chorus, she calls him out for not showing her the love she deserves, leading her to conclude that he is playing games with her. She realizes that he is running hot and cold and that he is not treating her the way she deserves. She explains that her mind is made up, and she is done with his lies, and she wants him out of her life.
In the bridge, she tells him that she wants to be a part of his life, and she just wants to listen and get in his vibe. All she wants is to be loved by him and not have to compete with anyone else. She wants him to stop playing games and respect her feelings.
Overall, Summer Walker's "Playing Games" is a song about seeking validation from a partner in a relationship. It highlights the importance of communication, trust, and honesty in a relationship, and how neglecting these aspects can lead to the downfall of the relationship.
