Lyrics Barbara Mandrell

Barbara Mandrell

Games People Play

Oh, the games people now, every night and every day now

Never meaning what they say now, never saying what they mean

Oh, they wile away the hours in their ivory towers

Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

Lotten da, la da da da, lotten da, la a da da dee

Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play

Oh, we make one another cry, break a heart then we say goodbye

Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other one's to blame

People walking up to ya singing, "Glory Hallelujah"

And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord

Lotten da, la da da da, lotten da, la a da da dee

Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play

Oh, look around and tell me what you see, what's happening to you and me

God grant me the serenity to remember who I am

Some give up their sanity for their pride and their vanity

Turn their back on humanity and they don't give a da da da da

Lotten da, la da da da, lotten da, la a da da dee

Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play
