Games People Play

Oh, the games people play now,

Every night and every day now

Never meaning what they say now,

Never saying what they mean.

They just wile away the hours,

In their ivory towers

'Til they're covered up with flowers,

In the back of a black limousine.

La da da, da da da, da da

La da da, da da da, da dee

I'm talking 'bout you and me

And the games people play.

Oh, we make one another cry,

Break our heart when we say goodbye

Cross our hearts and we hope to die

Bet the other was to blame.

Neither one ever give an inch

So we gaze at our eight by ten

Thinking 'bout the things that might of been

And its a dirty rotten shame.

People walking up to you,

Singing glory, Hallelujah!

And their trying' to sock it to you,

In the name of the Lord.

There gonna teach you how to meditate

Read your horoscope and cheat your fate

And to furthermore to hell with hate

Come on get on board.

La da da, da da da, da da

La da da, da da da, da dee

I'm talking 'bout you and me

And the games people play.

Well, look around and tell me what you see

What's a happening to you and me

God grant me the serenity

To remember who I am.

'Cause you've given up your sanity

For your pride and your vanity

Turns you back on humanity

And you don't give a da da.

La da da, da da da, da da

La da da, da da da, da dee

I'm talking 'bout you and me

And the games people play.

La da da, da da da, da da

La da da, da da da, da dee

I'm talking 'bout you and me

And the games people play...
