Games People Play

** INTRO ** 

Oh, the games people play now 
ev'ry night and ev'ry day now 
never meaning what they say now 
never saying what they mean 

And they while away the hours 
in their ivory towers 
Tillthey'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, de 
Talking bout you and me 
ant the games people play 

Oh, 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 

Neither one will ever give in 
so we gaze at an eight by ten 
thining 'bout the things that might have been 
It's a dirty rotten shame 

La, da, da, da da, da, da 
la, da, da, da, da, da, de 
Talking bout you and me 
ant the games people play 

People walking up to you 
singing " Glory, halelu jah! " 
and they're tryin to sock it to you 
in the name of the Lord 

They gonna teach you how to meditate 
read your horoscopre cheat your fate 
and further more to hell with hate 
Come on get on board 

La, da, da, da da, da, da 
la, da, da, da, da, da, de 
Talking bout you and me 
ant the games people play 

Look around, tell me what you see 
What's happening to you and me? 
God grant me the serenity 
to remember who I am 

Cause you're giving up your sanity 
for your pride and your vanity 
Turn your back on humanity 
and you don't give a da, da, da, da 

La, da, da, da da, da, da 
la, da, da, da, da, da, de 
Talking bout you and me 
ant the games people play 

La, da, da, da da, da, da 
la, da, da, da, da, da, de 
Talking bout you and me 
ant the games people play 

La, da, da, da da, da, da 
la, da, da, da, da, da, de 
Talking bout you and me
