Games

You see I like all kinds of music
No favourites
But everything's got to happen in its own space and time

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)

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 at the start (at the start)
Of every, every, every game
There's a part of you
That ain't gon' never, never, never, never change
Never change (never change)

Time, oh
Time has a story
It has a story, story, a story, mhmm
And the games, oh
Did you see us goin' up to you?
Nobody but you

You gotta make your moves
Make your moves while 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, mhmm

See
'Cause at the start (just like they play)
Just like they play your favourite song
They play it over and over and over again
'Til the grooves are gone
The grooves are gone (grooves are gone)

Time, oh time
Time has a story
It has a story, story, a story, mhmm
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
You still got a chance brother
But you can't never let the moves close in
Close in on you

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

It's all about those games
(The games people play, well)
It's like, I say yes
She say no (the games people play, well)
If I say, "Stay"
Damned if she don't say, "Go"

Its all about games
(The games people play, well)
Oh girl, yeah, just to let you down
Fallin' in and out of love
(The games people play, well)
