Over deze songtekst:
Origineel geschreven en vertolkt door Joe South in 1968. De inspiratie van het nummer komt van het gelijknamige boek van Eric Berne of het zogenaamde 'spel' dat mensen met elkaar spelen in de omgang. South won met het nummer de Grammy Award voor beste song.
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
