Games

La-la-la-la-la
You say you like all kinds of music
No favourites
But then it's got to happen in it's own space and time

The games
That people play
They're so afraid to face the time of day
So they run away
You see
They're afraid to live (afraid to live)
Afraid to let (afraid to let)
They don't wanna give unless they get
Unless they get (unless they get)

The games
That we begin
Once they start they never, never, cease to end
I know you heard what I said my friend
You see
'Cause as the start ('cause at the start)
Of every, every, every game (of every game)
Theres a part of you that gonna never, never, never change, never change (never change)

Time, oh-ha-ha
Time has a story
It has a story, it has a story (it has a story)
And the games, oh
Did you see us goin' up to you
Nobody but you
You gotta make your moves
Make your moves whilst you still can win'em, win'em
But you can't never never let the game close in on you
Oh

Moves
To stay ahead
Well, I'm sick and tired of them yessin' me
Just for my bread
I know y'all heard what I said
See
'Cause at the start (just like they play)
Just like they play your favourite song (they play your song)
They play it over and over and over again 'til the grooves are gone (grooves are gone)

Time
Oh, time, time has a story
It has a story, story, story
And how you play the game
Can't you see that it's all up to you
Nobody but you
You gotta make your moves
Make your moves whilst you still can win'em
Still got a chance brother
But you can't never let the moves close in
Close in on you
Wooo

Games
Well
I'm talking about those games that people play
(The games people play, well) I said to myself, I said self
What a way, what a way
To pass the time of day
(Those games people play, well) Check it out

I'm talking about those games
(The games people play, well)
That's right, I say, "Yes"
She say, "No" (The games people play, well)
If I say, "Stay", damn if she don't say, "No"
It's all about game
(The games people play, well)
