Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin'
what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean
And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up
with flowers
In the back of
a black limousine
Oh we make one another cry
Break a heart then
we say goodbye
Cross our hearts
And we hope to die
that the other was to blame
Neither one will give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things
that might have been
It's a dirty rotten shame
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da de de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
People walkin' up to you
Singin' glory hallelulia
And they're tryin
to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you
how to meditate
Read your horoscope
Cheat your fath
And further more
to **** with hate
Come on and get on board
Look around tell me
what you see
What's been happenin'
to you and me
God grant me the serenity
to remember who I am
'Cause you've given up
your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give
a da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da de de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Yes talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
