| Games people play
|
| (written by: joe south sung by: rick price)
|
| Oh the games people play now
|
| Every night and every day now
|
| Never meaning what they say now
|
| And never saying what they mean
|
| While they walk away the hours
|
| In their ivory towers
|
| We threw a couple of flowers
|
| In the back of a black limousine
|
| La da la da da da da,
|
| La da da da da de,
|
| Im a talkin about you and me And the games people play
|
| You know we make one another cry
|
| We break our hearts and we say goodbye
|
| We cross our hearts and we hope to die
|
| That the other was to blame
|
| We need a woman that will give in So we gaze at an 8×10
|
| Wanderin about the things
|
| That might have been
|
| And its a dirty rotten shame
|
| (repeat chorus)
|
| Now wait a minute
|
| They come walkin up to ya
|
| Singing glory haleuajah
|
| Let me try to sock it to ya
|
| In the name of the lord
|
| They only show ya how to meditate
|
| And to read your horoscope cheat your fate
|
| Furthermore to hell with hate
|
| Cmon and get on board
|
| (repeat chorus)
|
| Look around baby whatd you see
|
| Whats been happening to you and me God granted its serenity
|
| Just to remember who I am Cause youve given up your sanity
|
| Your pride and your bounty
|
| You turn your back on humanity
|
| And you dont give a
|
| (repeat chourus x2) |
