Games People Play

Oh the games people play now
Every night and everyday now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean
While they waol away the hours
In their ivory towers
To be covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Oh, we made one another cry
Break our hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts say we hope to die
"Cept the other one's to blame
Neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an 8 by 10
Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been
OW, It's a dirty rotten shame
CHORUS:
Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
People walkin up a to ya
Singin Glory Hallelujah
Sayin' what the hell's it to ya
If I do it in the name of the Lord
Gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your fate
Brother I'm gonna elevate
Come on let's get on board
Chorus (x2)
Look around tell me what you see
What's happenin' to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am
Cause you're givin up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
OW, When you don't give a damn
Not a damn
CHORUS
Latten da Latten da da da
Latten da Latten da da de
Talkin' bout everybody
Talkin' bout you
Ah you and me
You and me
I'm a talkin bout the games
The games we all play
Latten da Latten da da da (La da da)
Latten da Latten da da de (Latten da da de)
Oh the games
Talkin' bout the games people play
Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de (Repeat to fade)
