Oh, the games people play now
Every night and everyday now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean

While they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
To be covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

Oh, we made one another cry
Break our hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts, say we hope to die
'Cept the other one's to blame

Neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an 8 by 10
Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been
Ow, it's a dirty rotten shame

Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

People walkin' up a-to ya
Singin' Glory Hallelujah
Sayin' what the hell's it to ya
If I do it in the name of the Lord

Gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your fate
Brother, I'm gonna elevate
Come on, let's get on board

Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

[Solo]

Look around, tell me what you see
What's happenin' to you and me
God grant me my serenity
To remember who I am
'Cause you're givin up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
Ow, when you don't give a damn
Not a damn

Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' bout everybody
Talkin' bout you
Ah, you and me
You and me
I'm a talkin 'bout the games
The games we all play
Latten da Latten da da da (La da da)
Latten da Latten da da de (Latten da da de)
Oh the games
Talkin' 'bout the games people play
Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
