Games We Play Songtext

von The Hollies

Well, I heard your mother say
"What a pleasant boy you're going with"
That I don't mean any harm
And I only want to play

Though I know she's just protecting you
You're just a little girl
Well, if your mother only knew the games we play

When I take you home with me
All the family get along with you
Sitting all through tea
Wondering what we're gonna do

Leaving us alone
The temptation's far too strong
If your family only knew the games we play

Are you sure we're getting away with this?
You cannot fool your mother or your father for long
Only time will tell
If they are right and we are wrong

Are you sure we're getting away with this?
You cannot fool your mother or your father for long
Only time will tell
If they are right and we are wrong

They know the games we play
There's no hiding things like this from them
We know we're not the first
And we'll never be the last

Everybody gets hung up
We might have to pay
And everybody knows the games we play
