Games People Play

Oh the games people play now
 Every night and every day now
 Never meaning what they say now
 Never saying 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
 La-da da da da da da da
 La-da da da da da de
 Talking 'bout you and me
 And the games people play
 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
 Thinking '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
 Talking 'bout you and me
 And the games people play
 People walking up to you
 Singing 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 faith
 And further more to hell with hate
 Come on and get on board
 La-da da da da da da da
 La-da da da da da de
 Talking 'bout you and me
 And the games people play
 Look around 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
 For your pride and your vanity
 Turns you sad on humanity
 And you don't give a da da da da da
