Lyrics

Oh, the games people play, yeah Every night and every day now Never meaning what they say, oh Never saying what they mean So they walk away to our world Sitting in their every tower 'Til they're covered up with flowers In the back of a black limousine La de da, la de da da La de da, la de da do Said I'm talkin' 'bout it's you and me And the games people play We make one end of the ground now We break our heart and say goodbye now Cross our hearts and hold the time now It wasn't me, she's to blame Nobody ever wants to give in So it games that I need my chance But think about everything that might have been And it's a good and wrong change La de da, la de da da La de da, la de da da Hey, I'm talkin' bout it's you and me And the games people play People come walkin' right up to me Singin' glory, hallelujah Turn your back and else I'll get to you In the name of the Lord I'm gonna teach you how to meditate Teach your heart a scope and teach your faith Follow my way to hell with faith Bring your money, get on the hood La de da, la de da da La de da, la de da da Hey, I'm talking about you and me (you and me) And the games people play Look all around you, tell me, what do you feel? What's happening to you and me? Lord, please, grant me my serenity Let me remember who I am Please forgive me, look at the sanity We've got too much pride and vanity Turned in your best, oh, humanity They gon' be alright, la la la la la la La de da, la de da da La de da, la de da da Lord, I'm talking 'bout is you and me And the games people play La de da, la de da da La de da, la de da da
