Games People Play - Remastered 2022
Oh, the games people play, oh
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say, oh
Never saying what they mean
So they walk away to our world
Sitting in their every tower
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
La de da, la de da da
La de da, la de da do
Said, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
We make one end of the ground now
We break our heart and say goodbye now
Cross our hearts and hold the time now
It wasn't me, she's to blame
Nobody ever wants to give in
So it games that I need by chance
But think about everything that might have been
And it's a good and wrong change
La de da, la de da da
La de da, la de da da
Hey, I'm talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play
People come walkin' right up to you
Singin' glory, Hallelujah
Turn your back and else I'll get to you
In the name of the Lord
I'm gonna teach you how to meditate
Teach your heart a scope and teach your faith
Follow my way to hell with faith
Bring your money, get onboard
La de da, la de da da
La de da, la de da da
Hey, I'm talking about you and me (you and me)
And the games people play
Look all around you, tell me, what do you feel?
What's happening to you and me?
Lord, please, grant me my serenity
Let me remember who I am
Please forgive me, look at the sanity
We've got too much pride and vanity
Turn and labour for humanity
They don't feel alright, la la la la la la
La de da, la de da da
La de da, la de da da
Lord, I'm talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play
La de da, la de da da
La de da, la de da da
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say, oh
Never saying what they mean
So they walk away to our world
Sitting in their every tower
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
La de da, la de da da
La de da, la de da do
Said, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
We make one end of the ground now
We break our heart and say goodbye now
Cross our hearts and hold the time now
It wasn't me, she's to blame
Nobody ever wants to give in
So it games that I need by chance

La de da, la de da da
La de da, la de da da
