Games People Play Songtext

von Henning Kvitnes

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

While 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 ever 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 just remember who I am, woh ah

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 da da

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
