You know what / I like the playettes / No diggity, no doubt / Play on playette, play on playette
1996, “No Diggity”, performed by Blackstreet ft. Dr. Dre:No man wants a woman who is looking for a wife, no woman wants a man who is looking for a mother, no woman wants a man who wants to be her father; I guess it is truly hard out here for a pimp, player and playette as those qualities can be attractive.
