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

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 (People play)
La da da, da da dee (Playing games)
I'm talking 'bout you and me (You and me)
And the games people play now

Oh, we make one another cry
Break our heart when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
Said the other was to blame

Neither one ever give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might of been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
La da da, da da da (People play)
La da da, da da dee (Playing games)
I'm talking 'bout you and me (You and me)
And the games people play now

People walking up to you
Singing glory, Hallelujah!
And they try to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord

They're gonna teach you how to live today
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And to furthermore to hell with hate
Come on get on board

La da da
La da dee
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
Just remember who I am

'Cause you've given up your sanity (Given up your sanity)
For your pride and your vanity
Turn you back on humanity (Turn your back on humanity)
And you don't give a la da da da da
La da da, da da da (People play)
La da da, da da dee (Playing games)
I'm talking 'bout you and me (You and me)
And the games people play now
La da da, da da da (People play)
La da da, da da dee (Playing games)
I'm talking 'bout you and me (You and me)
And the games people play now
La da da, da da da (People play)
La da da, da da dee (Playing games)
I'm talking 'bout you and me (You and me)
And the games people play now
La da da, da da da (People play)
La da da, da da dee (Playing games)
I'm talking 'bout you and me (You and me)
And the games people play now
La da da, da da da (People play)
La da da, da da dee (Playing games)
I'm talking 'bout you and me (You and me)
