Games People Play
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, la-da-da, da-de
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
'Til they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine
La da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, la-da-da, da-de
Here to talk '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
And either one will ever give in, so we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been, and it's a dirty rotten shame
La da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, la-da-da, da-de
Here to talk '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
Da-da-da, la-da-da, da-de
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-da da)
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, la-da-da, da-de
Here to talk 'bout you and me and the games people play
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, la-da-da, da-de
Here to talk' 'bout you and me and the games people play
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, la-da-da, da-de
Here to talk' 'bout you and me and the games people play
Da-da-da, la-da-da, da-de
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
'Til they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine
La da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, la-da-da, da-de
Here to talk 'bout you and me and the games people play
Oh, we make one another cry, break a heart when we say goodbye
