Games People Play - Joe South
laddeedadadadanee, etc, etc
Oh the Games People Play Now
every night and every day now
Never meanin what they say now
never sayin what they mean
Why they while away the hours in their ivory towers
till they're covered up with flowers
in the back of a black limosine
Ladandaladandadada, Ladandaladandadada
Oh we make one another cry, breakin' hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die, that the other was to blame
and neither one will ever give in, so we gaze at an 8 by 10
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been, and it's a dirty rotten shame
Chorus:
( Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
Oh yeah, all right
(Look Here)
People walkin' up to ya, singin' glory hallelujah
and they try to sock it to ya, in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach ya how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate, come on, get on board
(chorus)
(Now Wait a minute)
Look around, tell me what you see, what's happening to you and me?
God grant me the serenity to just remember who I am
'Cos you've givin' up your sanity, for your pride and your vanity
Turned your back on humanity, ow, and you don't give a da da da
