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
I 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

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
I 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
Been down too long
