Games People Play
[Verse 1]
Whoa, the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean

[Verse 2]
While they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Whoa, we make one another cry
Break a heart when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame
[Verse 4]
But neither one will ever 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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 5]
People walkin' up to you
Singin' glory hallelujah, ha-ha
And they try and to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord

[Verse 6]
They're gonna teach you how to live today
Read your horoscope, cheat your fate
Try to teach you to eliminate
Come on, get on board
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 7]
Now, wait a minute
Look around tell me what you see?
What's happenin' to you and me?
Lord grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am

[Verse 8]
'Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn you back on humanity
Oh, and you don't give a
Da, da, da, da, da

[Chorus]
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
I'll keep a-talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
[Outro]
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Gonna talk 'bout you and me
And the games people play

La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Gonna talk 'bout you and me
And the games people play
