Oh, the games people play now, every night and every day now
Never mean 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-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da-da-day
Talkin' bout you and me, yeah, and the games people play
Oh, we make one another cry
Break a heartbreak
And then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts
And we hope to die
That the other was to blame
Cause neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at our right pretend
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been
Well, it's a dirty rock and shine
La-da-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da-day
Talkin' bout you and me, yeah
And the games people play
People walkin' up to ya
Singin' glory hallelujah
Then they try to suck 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 to hell with...
Come on and get on board
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-day
Talkin' about you and me, yeah
And the games people play
Well, look around, tell me what you see
What's a-happening to you and me
God, grant me the serenity
To remember who I am
Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turned your sad on humanity
And you don't give a damn, a damn, a damn
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-day
Talkin' about you and me, yeah
And the games people play
Talkin' about you and me, yeah
And the games people play
Talkin' about you and me, yeah
