Oh the games people play now,   every night and every day now   Never meaning what the say now,   never saying what they mean      While they wile away the hours,   in their ivory towers   Till they're covered up in flowers,   in the back of a black limousine      La-da da da da da da da    La-da da da da da de    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 day,   that the other was to blame      Neither one will ever give in,   so we gaze at our eight by ten    Thinkin' bout the things that might have been,   and it's a dirty rotten shame      La-da da da da da da da    La-da da da da da de    Talking 'bout you and me    and the games people play       People walkin' up to ya   singin' glory hallelujah    and they try to sock it to ya   in the name of the lord      They gonna teach you how to meditate,   read your horoscope, cheat your faith   Further more to hell with hate,   come on get on board      La-da da da da da da da    La-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 happenin' to you and me   God grant me the serenity   to just remember who I am      'Cause you're giving up your sanity   or your pride and your vanity   Turn your back humanity   and you don't give a da da da da da       La-da da da da da da da    La-da da da da da de    Talking 'bout you and me, brother   and the games people play       La-da da da da da da da    La-da da da da da de    Talking 'bout you and me    and the games people play
