Games People Play
La-di-da-da-da-da
La-di-da-la-di-di-di
La-da-da-da-da-di-di
La-di-da-la-di-di-di
Oh, the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
While they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Though we make one another cry
Break our hearts and we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
Said the other was to blame
Neither one would ever give in
Though we gaze on an ache again
Thinkin' 'bout the things it might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
People walkin' up to ya
Singin' "Glory, Hallelujah"
And then they try to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord
They gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And further more to hell with hate
Come on, get on board
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've given up your sanity
All your pride and your vanity
Turn your back at humanity
And you don't give up
La-di-da-da-da-da
La-da-di-di-di-di-di
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play
La-di-da-la-di-di-di
La-da-da-da-da-di-di
La-di-da-la-di-di-di
Oh, the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
While they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Though we make one another cry
Break our hearts and we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
Said the other was to blame
Neither one would ever give in
Though we gaze on an ache again
Thinkin' 'bout the things it might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
People walkin' up to ya
Singin' "Glory, Hallelujah"
And then they try to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord
They gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And further more to hell with hate
Come on, get on board
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've given up your sanity
All your pride and your vanity
Turn your back at humanity
And you don't give up
La-di-da-da-da-da
La-da-di-di-di-di-di
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play
