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

So they whine away the hours

In their ivory towers

Till they’re covered up with flowers

In the back of a black limousine



Chorus:

La da da da da la da da dada dee

I’m talking ‘bout you and me

And the games people play



Oh they make one another cry

Break their hearts and they say goodbye

Cross their hearts and they hope to die

That the other was to blame

Neither one would ever give in

So they gaze at an eight by ten

Thinkin’ bout the ways it might have been

And it’s a dirty rotten shame



Repeat chorus



People walkin’ up to you

Singin’ glory hallelujah

And they try to send it you

In the Name of the Lord

Oh they teach you how to meditate

Read your horoscope and teach you faith

And the further more the hell with hate

Come on and get on board



Repeat chorus



Look around and tell me what you see

What’s a happening to you and me

God grant me the serenity

To just remember who I am

Cause you’re givin’ up your sanity

For your pride and your vanity

Turn your back on humanity

Whoa and you don’t give a dah dah dah
