Playing With Girls – AC/DC

Highball women that are hot to touch

Legs do the talking, spelling out, “lust”

See the sugar daddies with a sweet tooth and a smile

See what’s hanging off him like an orphaned child

That’s where you’ll find me, standing proud

Playing with girls gonna get you hot

Playing with guns gonna get you shot

Playing with fire gonna heat you up

Playing with me, you’re gonna get the lot

Bring on the showgirls and the debutantes

Late-night waitress in a restaurant

Heading for the clubs and bars with the flashing lights

Looking for the good-time girls in their black nylon tights

Over the barrel, bottoms-up

Playing with girls gonna get you hot

Playing with guns gonna get you shot

Playing with fire gonna heat you up

Playing with me, you’re gonna get the lot

Ooh, river run dry

Yeah-yeah, you’re only playing with fire

Ooh, wild sweet child

Playing with girls

Playing with girls

Playin’

Playin’

Playin’ with girls

Playin’ with girls

Bring on the tall girls, but I’ll take ’em small

I want ’em all up front, I like ’em all

I want to see you strut your stuff

Lose your social grace

You play your cards right and you’ll deal yourself an ace

That’s where you’ll find me standing proud

Playin’ with girls

Playin’ with girls

Playin’ with girls

Playin’ with girls

Like a long girl, short girl

Nothin’ like a bad girl

Lover girl

Just playin’ with a girl

I want all the women in the world

Flaunting Temptation and Rock ‘n’ Roll Attitude

“Playing With Girls” by AC/DC is a high-octane anthem that captures the band’s signature blend of hard rock bravado and unapologetic hedonism. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of nightlife indulgence, brimming with references to flirtation, desire, and the thrill of risk. Through playful and provocative lines, the song explores the wild side of chasing adventure, whether it’s with women, danger, or fire. The recurring motif of “playing” suggests both the excitement and potential consequences of living on the edge, making the track a quintessential expression of AC/DC’s rebellious spirit and tongue-in-cheek humor.
