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
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

They're just not matchin' what they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue
Been down too long
