Games People Play

Oh the games people now every night and every day now

Never meanin' what they say now and never sayin' what they mean

While 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 dee de 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

But neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten

Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame

Lotten da la da da da

People walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah

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

They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your fate

And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board

Lotten da la da da da

Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and me

God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am

Cause you've given up your sanity for your pride and your vanity

Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a da da da

Lotten da la da da da

Lotten da la da da da
