  • He's a coldhearted snake lookin' into his eyes
    Oh, oh he's been telling lies
    He's a lover boy at play (no)
    He don't play by the rules oh, oh (oh, oh)
    Girl don't play the fool now

    You're the one givin' up the love any time he needs it
    But you turn your back and then he's off and running with the crowd
    You're the one to sacrifice, anything to please him
    Do you really think he thinks about you when he's out?

    He's a coldhearted snake lookin' into his eyes
    Oh, oh he's been telling lies
    He's a lover boy at play (no)
    He don't play by the rules oh, oh (oh, oh)
    Girl don't play the fool now

    It was only late last night, he was out there sneakin'
    Then he called you up to check that you were waiting by the phone
    All the world's a candy store
    He's been trick or treatin'
    When it comes to true love girl with him there's no one home

    He's a coldhearted snake lookin' into his eyes
    Oh, oh he's been telling lies
    He's a lover boy at play (no)
    He don't play by the rules oh, oh (oh, oh)
    Girl don't play the fool now

    You can find somebody better girl
    He could only make you cry
    You deserve somebody better girl
    He's c-cold as ice
    Cold as ice
    He's cold as ice
    He's cold as ice
    Still wait for me, girl

    Co-co-co-cold hearted oh, ah, ah
    Co-co-co-cold hearted snake
    Co-co-co-cold hearted oh, ah, ah
    Co-co-co-cold hearted snake

    He's a coldhearted snake lookin' into his eyes
    Oh, oh he's been telling lies
    He's a lover boy at play (no)
    He don't play by the rules oh, oh (oh, oh)
    Girl don't play the fool
    Oh, ah, look into his eye
    Oh, ah, he's been telling lies
    Oh, ah, ah don't play by the rules
    Oh, ah, girl don't play the fool now

    He's a coldhearted snake lookin' into his eyes
    Oh, oh he's been telling lies
    He's a lover boy at play (no)
    He don't play by the rules oh, oh (oh, oh)
    Girl don't play the fool now

    He's a coldhearted snake lookin into his eyes
    Oh, oh he's been telling lies
    He's a lover boy at play Writer/s: Elliott Wolff

  • Chris from Germany That was her time in the late 80s and 90s and she had great luck but also it was the result of hard work and perfect marketing. Great song, great video, great singer and of course good dance routine.
