(Joe South)
Oh the games people play now 
Every night and every day now 
Never meaning what they say now 
Never saying what they mean 
Oh they whine away the hours 
In their ivory towers 
Til they're covered up with flowers 
In the back of a black limousine 

La la la mmm da da da 
La la la mmm da da dee 
I'm talkin' 'bout you and me 
And the games people play 

Oh they make one another cry 
Break their hearts and they say good-bye 
Cross their heart and they hope to die 
That the other was to blame 
Neither one will ever give in 
So they gaze at an eight by ten 
Thinkin' 'bout the way it might have been 
And it's a dirty rotten shame 

La la la mmm da da da 
La la la mmm da da dee 
I'm talkin' 'bout you and me 
And the games people play 

Oh they teach how to meditate 
Read your horoscope and teach you faith 
The furthermore the hell with hate 
Come on and get on board 
Look around and tell me what you see 
What's a-happenin' to you and to me 
God grant me the serenity 
To just remember who I am 

La la la mmm da da da 
La la la mmm da da dee 
I'm talkin' 'bout you and me 
And the games people play
