Who is the man making the scene, flashing the green
Livin' it up in living up to his name
Who wants some lovers gold, silver tone
Givin' it up is his claim to fame

I'm a mystery man, doing what I can
With a continental international plan
So

Come on now, it's all now
This player's here to stay now
Let me break it down, make you understand
Don't you know your history

I'm feelin', I mean it
This player's here to stay
You're a woman, I'm your man
It ain't no mystery

Who is the guy looking bad, I mean bad
Making it up as he goes and he knows
That she'll come around, turn that frown upside down
Breaking it up before he gets too old

I'm a mystery man doing what I can
With a continental international plan
So

Come on now, it's all now
This player's here to stay now
Let me break you down, make you understand
Don't you know your history

I'm feelin', I mean it
This player's here to stay
You're a woman, I'm your man
It ain't no mystery

Bikinis, cars, cigars and danger
Martini hangovers, he ain't no stranger to
London, Paris, New York and Japan
I'm bringing home the bacon in a frying pan
L.A., Rio or China town, if you're down then

I'm your mystery man doing what I can
With a continental international plan
So

Come on now, it's all now
This player's here to stay now
Let me break you down, let me make you understand
Don't you know your history

I'm feelin', I mean it
This player's here to stay
You're a woman, I'm your man
It ain't no mystery
