Oh, the games people play now Every night and every day now Never meaning what they say now And never saying what they mean So 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-da La-da-da-da-da-da-dee Talkin' about you and me And the games people play 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 But neither one will ever give in So we gaze at an ape-a-tent Thinkin' about the things that might have been And it's a dirty rotten shame La-da-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-dee Talkin' about you and me And the games people play People walkin' up to you Singin' glory hallelujah And they try to sock it to you In the name of the Lord They're gonna teach you how to meditate Read your horoscope and cheat your fate Further murder hell with hate Come on and get on board La-da-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-dee Talkin' about you and me And the games people play Look around tell me what you see What's a happenin' to you and to 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 La-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-dee Talkin' about you and me And the games people play Yes I'm talkin' about you and me And the games people play
