Games People Play - Don Williams

Oh the games people play now

Every night and every day now

Never meaning what they say now

Never saying what they mean

They just wile away the hours

In their ivory towers

Til theyre 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 da dee

I'm talking bout you and me

And the games people play

Oh we make one another cry

Break our heart when we say goodbye

Cross our hearts and we hope to die

Bet the other was to blame

Neither one ever give an inch

So we gaze at our eight by ten

Thinking bout the things that might of been

And its a dirty rotten shame

--- Instrumental ---

People walking up to you

Singing glory Hallelujah

And their trying to sock it to you

In the name of the Lord

There gonna teach you how to meditate

Read your horoscope and cheat your fate

And to furthermore to hell with hate

Come on get on board

La da da da da da da da

La da da da da da da dee

I'm talking bout you and me

And the games people play

Well look around and tell me what you see

Whats a happening to you and me

God grant me the serenity

To remember who I am

'Cause you've given up your sanity

For your pride and your vanity

Turns you back on humanity

And you don't give a da da

La da da da da da da da

La da da da da da da dee

I'm talking bout you and me

And the games people play

La da da da da da da da

La da da da da da da dee

I'm talking bout you and me

And the games people play
