Playing for Keeps

Reginald Hawkins

In combining late 20th century house sounds with explosive pop beats, pop artist Reginald Hawkins creates a soulfully rich, harmonic soundscape that can only be described as a melting pot of ingenuity. Reginald Hawkins isn’t confined to a single genre; he is a genre. Growing up in Detroit, Motown’s birthplace, Reginald always knew music would be in his future. His discography resonates with a myriad of communities, sexualities, and cultures. His recent singles, “Playing for Keeps,” (2019) and “Do Not Disturb”(2019), advocate for people to use their voice and be unafraid in their endeavors. Reginald is primed to drop his debut EP in late 2020. This project spans musical territories from emotional ballads to propulsive pop jams to create fun, edgy tracks that inspire others to be creative, stand up for what they believe in, and love themselves unconditionally.

It was last night
Not feeling right
And everything you said has got all up, right in my head
And now I'm in your bed
How this happened last time
How this happened last time
Don't know your name
You're all the same
But I don't ask no question 
So who's the real one I should blame 
It's driving me insane
I just need to stop
Because I don't want to go no, no

Hold me closer
Don't let me go 
Just let me know, just let me 

Just let me know that I'm just not one of your little toys
Show me we don't play no games cause were no little boys
Been looking for someone because Im tryna fill my void 
I wanna know you play for keeps or I'll just 
On, on, on

I’m gone
I've lost myself again 
I've lost my only friend, it's me
Don't know who I'm supposed to be no more
But I'm knocking at your door
You let me in, again, tonight

Hold me closer
Don't let me go 
Just let me know, just let me know

Just let me know that I'm just not one of your little toys
Show me we don't play no games cause were not little boys
Been looking for someone because I’m tryna fill my void 
I wanna know you play for keeps or I'll just 
On, on, on

(Don't let go)

Hold me closer
Don't let me go 
Just let me know, just let me know

Just let me know that I'm just not one of your little toys
Show me we don't play no games cause were no little boys
Been looking for someone because Im tryna fill my void 
I wanna know you play for keeps or I'll just 
On, on, on
