I TOOK THE PLAYA WALK
AND I AIN'T NEVER BEEN THE SAME
YES, I TOOK THE PLAYA WALK
AND I'M NOT STANDING IN THE RAIN NO MORE
THE SUN IS SHINING IN MY BONES
THE HEAT IS RISING THROUGH MY TOES
AND NOW I'M FREE TO SAVE MY SOUL
V1. She was the love of my life. She was all-world and every night
Had me feening for conversation and candlelight
I never seen it before, this womanism
Had me on a whole new page in this love rage
I never thought she had a hold on the kid though
Doing what I could to make all this love grow
Giving her my lifeline in her right mind
Hoping that God would grant us some sunshine
I did it all to make all of this worthwhile
Changing my player status and jumping the turnstile.
Rolling the red for her ... I cared for her
went out of my way in my mind I thought I was made for her.
I could have sworn that this loving would last long
It was a chess game and I was the last pawn
Every step of my love and intuition
It ain't the same it's a whole new ball game
Every time I breathe I think about it
I'm back to the basics, now I pray about it
There's no more part time and no more pain
No more standing outside in the rain ... you know what I did?
I TOOK THE PLAYA WALK
AND I AIN'T NEVER BEEN THE SAME
YES, I TOOK THE PLAYA WALK
AND I'M NOT STANDING IN THE RAIN NO MORE
THE SUN IS SHINING IN MY BONES
THE HEAT IS RISING THROUGH MY TOES
AND NOW I'M FREE TO SAVE MY SOUL
