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, woa-ah
La-dun da da da da da da
La-dun da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
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, woa-ah
But neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame, woa-ah
La-dun da da da da da da
La-dun da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
(Let me hear you)
People walking up to you
Singing "Glory, Hallelujah"
And they're trying to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
And further more to hell with hate
Come on, get on board, woa-ah
La-dun da da da da da da
La-dun da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play
(Now wait a minute)
Look around, tell me what you see
What's a-happening to you and me?
God grant me the serenity
But just remember who I am, woa-ah
'Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
Oh, and you don't give a da n-da n-da n-da
Da-dun da da da da da da
La-dun da da da da da de
Keep on talking 'bout you and me, brother
And the games people play, now now
La-dun da da da da da da
La-dun da da da da da de
Go on talking 'bout you and me
Uh, and the games people play
