Games people play Lyrics

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

And they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
To be covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

Though we make one another cry
Break our hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we'll hope to die
Said the other was to blame

Neither one will ever give in
Though we gaze on an ache again
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame

Talking about 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

Gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And further more to hell with hate
Come on get on board

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
All your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a damn

Talking about you and me
And the games people play
