Games People Play

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



All the games people play now, every night and every day now

Never meaning what they say now, never saying what they mean

And they while away the hours in their ivory towers

Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine



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



Oh, we make one another cry, break a heart when we say goodbye

Cross my heart and we hope to die that the other was to blame

Either one will give in, so we gaze at our eight by ten

Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been, oh, it's a dirty rotten shame



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



People walkin' up to ya, singin' glory Hallelujah

And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord

They're gonna teach you how to meditate

Read your horoscope and cheat your faith

And further more to hell with hate, come on and get on board



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



Look around and 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 givin' up your sanity or your pride and your vanity

Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a damn, da da da



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

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
