Games People Play (Rerecorded) Lyrics
Games People Play - Joe South
Written by：South Joe
La la la la la
La la la la la la di
La la la la la la la la la
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
While 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 la la la la la
La la la la la di
Talking '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 ever will give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
Oh it's a dirty rotten shame
La la la la la la la
La la la la la di
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Oh yeah
People walking up to you
Singing 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 cheat your fate
And further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board
La la la la la la
La la la la la di
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Look around tell me what you see
What's 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 back on humanity
Oh you don't give a la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la di
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play
La la la la la la la
La la la la la di
Talking 'bout you and me
