[Chorus: The O'Jays & Big Pun]
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ baby✦
I ain't a player, I just fuck a lot
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ love
I'm not a player, I just fuck a lot
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ baby✦
I ain't a player, I just fuck a lot
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ love
I'm not a player, I just fuck a lot
[Verse 2: Big Pun]
I bang a stranger in my torture chamber
Feed the locas✦ chocha✦ pinga✦ while I force my finger✦ where my bolas✦ linger✦
I Bring the Pain like Method when I flex and flip the coochie
Puerto✦ Rican✦ to the core, but no Boriquas eat the pussy✦
'Scuse me for bein' blunt, but I've been eatin'✦ cunts
Since pimps was pushin'✦ pink Caddies✦ with the fish tank pumps
Bumpin'✦ and grindin',✦ simultaneously grindin'✦
Climbin' up the walls, with my balls bangin'✦ off your hymen✦
I'm a diamond in the rough, (ugh) bustin'✦ in your face
Taste the sweetness of my dick, rip your fetus out of place
Yo, bitches already know the repertoire
Step in my car, let's start the ménage à trois, like Escobar
By far, I'm the best at all sex positions, forget✦ the kissin'✦
I'm skippin' the tongue-twistin', TS Tradition
[Chorus: The O'Jays & Big Pun]
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ baby✦
I ain't a player, I just fuck a lot
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ love
I'm not a player, I just fuck a lot
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ baby✦
I ain't a player, I just fuck a lot
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ love
I'm not a player, I just fuck a lot
[Verse 3: Big Pun]
Some chick in back of me, bought me a daiquiri
Told me meet her in back of Zachary's 'cause she heard I was packin'✦ meat
I bagged✦ the freak and hit the telly✦
Got the Phillies,✦ lifted✦ her belly✦ and "Put it in Her Mouth," like Akinyele
Far from ugly✦ but they used✦ to say I'm too chubby✦
But since the money✦ the honeys got nothin'✦ but love for me
So rub my tummy✦ and make a wish, I'll make you rich
Take your kids to the flicks, come back and fix your favorite dish
(Not!) You crazy✦ bitch, I ain't with that, I'ma✦ hit that
Split back to the shack where my other✦ chicks at
Now can you dig that? I'm the mack, doin' my thing
Pullin'✦ your strings, makin'✦ you feel like you in a dream
It's the king of the Hip-Hop Quotables, givin'✦ you multiples
Just by the tone of my voice in the vocal booth
I notice✦ you doin' your thing with your crew
Is it aight if I come down there and sing to you?
[Chorus: The O'Jays & Big Pun]
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ baby✦
I ain't a player, I just fuck a lot
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ love
I'm not a player, I just fuck a lot
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ baby"✦
I ain't a player, I just fuck a lot
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ love
I'm no player, I just fuck a lot
[Outro: The O' Jays]
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ baby✦
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ love
You're my darlin'✦ darlin'✦ baby✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
Big Pun utilizes excessive multisyllabic density and aggressive internal cadence to transform crude sexual braggadocio into a technical exhibition of breath control and phonetic precision.

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I Bring the Pain like Method"
① A direct reference to the Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man's hit song 'Bring the Pain'② A literal description of the aggressive, high-intensity sexual style being described in the verse
"bumpin' and grindin', simultaneously grindin'"
① Refers to the R. Kelly song 'Bump n' Grind' and the act of physical dance/intercourse② A double meaning on 'grindin'' as both sexual movement and the 'hustle' of the street lifestyle
"I'm a diamond in the rough"
① A common idiom meaning a person with latent talent or value hidden beneath a gritty exterior② A sexually explicit metaphor referencing the physical 'rough' nature of his encounter and his 'diamond' (penis) amidst the context of the act
Unrivaled technical density for the late 90s
Forceful, rhythmic delivery that maintains pocket despite complex multi-syllabic load
Pacing variation across the verse
Thematic repetition limits intellectual range
Lyric content relies heavily on shock value
Vocabulary breadth is sacrificed for phonetic matching
