Games People Play

Oh the games people play now

Every night and every day now

Never meaning what they say now

And never saying what they mean

While they walk away the hours

In their ivory towers

Till they're covered up in flowers

In the back of a black limousine

La da la da da da da,

La da da da da de,

I'm a talkin' about you and me

And the games people play

You know we make one another cry

We break our hearts and we say goodbye

We cross our hearts and we hope to die

That the other was to blame

We need a woman that will give in

So we gaze at an 8X10

Wanderin' about the things

That might have been

And it's a dirty rotten shame

La da la da da da da,

La da da da da de,

I'm a talkin' about you and me

And the games people play

Now wait a minute

They come walkin' up to ya

Singing glory haleuajah

Let me try to sock it to ya

In the name of the Lord

They only show ya how to meditate

And to read your horoscope cheat your fate

Furthermore to hell with hate

C'mon and get on board

La da la da da da da,

La da da da da de,

I'm a talkin' about you and me

And the games people play

Look around baby what'd you see

What's been happening to you and me

God granted it's serenity

Just to remember who I am

Cause you've given up your sanity

Your pride and your bounty

You turn your back on humanity

And you don't give a damn damn damn

La da la da da da da,

La da da da da de,

I'm a talkin' about you and me

And the games people play

La da la da da da da,

La da da da da de,

I'm a talkin' about you and me

And the games people play
