They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)
Can't get no rest, don't know how I work all day
When will I learn? Memories get in the way
I walk around, I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud
But I don't see at all, I gotta get away, gotta get away
I don't know where to go, it's hopeless so I guess I'll leave it alone
Well, I spent all the day fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late and I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find the love, peace of mind some other time
But I still have today, I gotta get away, gotta get away
I don't know where to go, it's hopeless so I guess I'll leave it alone
Games people play, night or day, they're just not matchin'
What they should do, keeps me feelin' blue
Been down too long, right, wrong, I just can't stop it
Spendin' all day, thinkin' just of you
Twelve forty-five, headed for the subway home
I took my time 'cause I felt so all alone
Not far away I heard a funny sound, took a look around
And I could see her face smile as she came, callin' out my name
So I know where to go, we'll take it slow but guess I'll call it a day
Games people play, night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do, keeps me feelin' blue
Been down too long, right, wrong, I just can't stop it
Spendin' all day, thinkin' just of you
Games people play, night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do, keeps me feelin' blue
When will I learn? Memories get in the way
I walk around, I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud
But I don't see at all, I gotta get away, gotta get away
I don't know where to go, it's hopeless so I guess I'll leave it alone
Well, I spent all the day fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late and I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find the love, peace of mind some other time
But I still have today, I gotta get away, gotta get away
I don't know where to go, it's hopeless so I guess I'll leave it alone
Games people play, night or day, they're just not matchin'
What they should do, keeps me feelin' blue
Been down too long, right, wrong, I just can't stop it
Spendin' all day, thinkin' just of you
Twelve forty-five, headed for the subway home
I took my time 'cause I felt so all alone
Not far away I heard a funny sound, took a look around
And I could see her face smile as she came, callin' out my name
So I know where to go, we'll take it slow but guess I'll call it a day
Games people play, night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do, keeps me feelin' blue
Been down too long, right, wrong, I just can't stop it
Spendin' all day, thinkin' just of you
Games people play, night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do, keeps me feelin' blue
