GAMES PEOPLE PLAY

Writer Joe South

Oh the games people now every night and every day now

Never meanin' what they say now never sayin' what they mean

So they wile away the hours in their ivory towers

Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a dee de dee

Talkin' bout you and me and the games people play

Oh we make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye

Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other was to blame

Neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten

Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame

Lotten da la da da da...

People walkin' up to ya singing 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 fate

And furthermore forget about hate come on and get on board

Lotten da la da da da...

Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and to me

God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am

Cause you've given up a sanity for a pride and your vanity

Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a da da da

Lotten da la da da da...

Lotten da la da da da...
