Lyrics

Mm-la-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
La-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
Whoa, the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
And never sayin' what they mean
While they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine, woah-ah
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
Whoa, we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame, whoa-ah
But neither one ever will give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame, whoa-ah
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play now, now
Oh, yes
Oh, alright
Oh, yes
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Whoa-oh-oh
Say, look here
People walkin' up to you
Singin' glory hallelujah, ha-ha
And they try to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
And furthermore, to hell with hate
C'mon on, get on board, whoa-ah
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Now, wait a minute
Look around, tell me what you see
What's happenin' to you and me?
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am, whoa-ah
'Cause you're givin' up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
Oh, and you don't give a
Da, da, da, da
Da-da-da-da da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
I keep a-talkin' 'bout you and me, brother
And the games people play now, now
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Oh, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
Oh, and the games people play
I wonder can you come out and play
Oh, early in the mornin'
Oh, yeah
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play now, now
