Games People Play

Oh, the games people now every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now and never sayin' what they mean
While they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Until they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

Lotten da da da da, lotten da da a dee da dee
Yes, we're talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play

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
But neither one will ever give in, so we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been and
it's a dirty rotten shame

Lotten da da da da, lotten da da a dee da dee
Yes, we're talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play

Your friends are walkin' up to ya singing glory, Hallelujah
As 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 further more to hell with hate come on and get on board

Lotten da da da da, lotten da da a dee da dee
Yes, we're talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play

Look around and tell me what you see, what's happened to you and me
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
'Cause we've given up our sanity for our kind and our vanity
Turn our back on humanity and we don't give a lot

Lotten da da da da, lotten da da a dee da dee
Yes, we're talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play
Yes, we're talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play
