Lynn Anderson - Games People Play lyrics

Your rating:

Oh, the games people now 
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now 
Never saying what they mean

So they wile away the hours 
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers 
In the back of a black limousine

Lotten da la da da da, lotten da la a dee de dee
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 ever give in 
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been 
And it's a dirty rotten shame

Lotten da la da da da, lotten da la a dee de dee
Talking bout you and me and the games people play

People walking up to you 
Singing 'Glory hallelujah'
And they're trying to sock it to you 
In the name of the Lord

They're gonna teach you how to meditate 
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore forget about hate 
Come on and get on board

Lotten da la da da da, lotten da la a dee de dee
Talking bout you and me and the games people play

Look around and tell me what you see 
What's happened to you and to me
God grand me the serenity  
Just to remember who I am

'Cause you've given up a sanity 
For a pride and our vanity
Turn our back on humanity 
And we don't give a da da da

Lotten da la da da da, lotten da la a dee de dee
Talking bout you and me and the games people play
