Games People Play

La da da da da da da da la da da da da da da dee Talkin' bout you and me and the games people play All the games people play now every night and every day now Never meaning what they say now never saying what they mean And they while away the hours in their ivory towers Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine La da da da da da... Oh we make one another cry break a heart when we say goodbye Cross my heart and we hope to die that the other was to blame Either one will give in so we gaze at our eight by ten Thinkin' bout things that might have been oh it's a dirty rotten shame La da da da da da... People walkin' up to ya singin' glory hallelujah And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your faith And further more to hell with hate come on and get on board La da da da da da... Look around and tell me what you see what's happening to you and me Got grant me the serenity to remember who I am Cause you're givin' up your sanity or your pride and your vanity Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a damn da da da La da da da da da... La da da da da da... --- Games People Play - Jerry Lee Lewis
