[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^✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I Bring the Pain like Method"

① A literal description of aggressive sexual encounters.② A direct reference to the Method Man song 'Bring the Pain', establishing status within the hip-hop landscape.

"bumpin' and grindin', simultaneously grindin'"

① Physical sexual movement (the 'bump and grind').② The 'hustler's grind', or the act of working hard, showing the duality of Pun's persona.

"ménage à trois, like Escobar"

① Engaging in a three-way sexual encounter.② A reference to Pablo Escobar's notorious reputation for excess and power, signaling his own dominance.

Unparalleled technical execution of polysyllabic rhyme schemes

Consistent, aggressive vocal presence and breath control

Seamless integration of complex internal rhyme patterns that do not compromise the beat

Exceptional rhythmic precision

Subject matter lacks thematic variety

Lyrical content is highly shock-value dependent, potentially limiting artistic range

Vocabulary is intentionally constrained by the focus on rhyme density
