“Lookin’ Out 4 No. 1”
Solem/Sterling 2006- BMI
He played her 2 times, to see if he could,
He played her 3 times, ‘cause he ain’t no good,
He played her 4 times; he was young and dumb,
And Lookin’ Out for No. 1.
Got his Hair slicked back
in a permanent wave,
He’s a player and a player she wants to save,
He’s a patch of bad road she’s gotta pave,
And he’ll worry that poor girl into her grave.
He played her 2 times, to see if he could,
He played her 3 times, ‘cause he ain’t no good,
He played her 4 times; he was young and dumb,
And Lookin’ Out for No. 1.
He bought a Cadillac car, gotta a wad of green,
Gotta reputation as a love machine,
Steppin out on luck, steppin’ out on Irene,
She’s can’t forgive, what she doesn’t see.
He played her 2 times, to see if he could,
He played her 3 times, ‘cause he ain’t no good,
He played her 4 times; he was young and dumb,
And Lookin’ Out for No. 1.
She tried her best, Like all the rest
She confessed, her best ain’t good enough.
What’s a girl to do, when he done what he do?
Wait for him at home, and get that boy alone,
She’ll kick him out the door, and count to No. 4.
He played her 2 times, to see if he could,
He played her 3 times, ‘cause he ain’t no good,
He played her 4 times; he was young and dumb,
And Lookin’ Out for No. 1.
He played her 2 times, to see if he could,
He played her 3 times, ‘cause he ain’t no good,
He played her 4 times; he was young and dumb,
And Lookin’ Out for No. 1.
