Oh the games people now every night and every day now
|
Never meanin' what they say now never sayin' what they mean
|
Oh they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
|
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine
|
|
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a da da dee
|
Talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
|
|
And we make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye
|
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other one's to blame
|
Neither one will ever give in though we gaze at an eight by ten
|
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame
|
|
Lotten da la da da da...
|
|
People walkin' up to ya singing 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 fate
|
And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board
|
|
Lotten da la da da da...
|
|
Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and me
|
God grand me the serenity to remember who I am
|
Cause you've given up your sanity for your pride and your vanity
|
Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a lot
|
|
Lotten da la da da da...
|
Talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
|
