Oh, the games people play now

Every night and every day now

Never meanin' what they say now

And never sayin' what they mean

So, they whyle away the hours

In their ivory towers

Till they're covered up with flowers

In the back of a black limousine

La, de, da, da, da, da, da, da

La, de, da, da, da, da, de

Talkin' 'bout you and me

And the games people play

Lord, they make one another cry

Break their hearts and never say goodbye

Cross their hearts and they hope to die

That the other was to blame

And neither one would ever give in

So they gaze at an eight by ten

Thinkin' 'bout the ways it might have been

And it's a dirty rotten shame

La, de, da, da, da, da, da, da

La, de, da, da, da, da, de

Talkin' 'bout you and me

And the games people play

People walkin' up to you

They're singin' 'Glory Hallelujah'

And they're tryin' to sock it to you

In the name of the Lord

They gonna teach you how to meditate

Read your horoscope and cheat your fate

Further more to hell with hate

Come on and get on board

La, de, da, da, da, da, da, da

La, de, da, da, da, da, de

Talkin' 'bout you and me

And the games people play

Look around and tell me what you see

What's happenin' to you and me

God, grant me the serenity

To just remember who I am

'Cause you've given up your sanity

For your pride and your vanity

Turn your back on humanity

And you don't give a da, da, da, da, da

La, de, da, da, da, da, da, da

La, de, da, da, da, da, de

Talkin' 'bout you and me

And the games people play

Talkin' 'bout you and me

And the games people play
