Lyrics

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 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 it's 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 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 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 La da-da, da da-da, da-dee I'm talking 'bout you and me And the games people play
