Lynn Anderson - Games People Play lyrics
[Lynn Anderson - Games People Play lyrics]
Oh, the games people
Now every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say
Now never sayin' what they mean
So they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' '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 will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that
Might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame lotten
Da la da da da
People walking up to ya
Singing glory hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore forget about hate
Come on and get on board lotten
Da la da da da
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happened to you and to me
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am
'Cause you've given up a sanity
For a pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a da da da
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la da da da
Now every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say
Now never sayin' what they mean
So they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' '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 will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that
Might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame lotten
Da la da da da
People walking up to ya
Singing glory hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore forget about hate
Come on and get on board lotten
Da la da da da
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happened to you and to me
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am
'Cause you've given up a sanity
For a pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a da da da
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la da da da
