Song Lyrics
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
La la lotten da da da la la lotten da da dee
I`m talkin` bout you and me and the games people play
Oh we make one another cry break the hearts then we say goodbye
Cross the hearts and we hope to die that the other one`s 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
La la lotten da da da....
Oh they`ll teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board
Look around tell me what you see what`s a happened to you and to me
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
La la lotten da da da....
La la lotten da da da....
