Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
And never saying what they mean
While they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Until they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Lotten da lotten da da da
Lotten da lotten da da dee
Yes we're talking about you and me
And the games people play
Make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other one's to blame
But neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinking about the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
Lotten da lotten da da da
Lotten da lotten da da dee
Yes we're talking about you and me
And the games people play
Your friends're walking up to you
Singing Glory Hallelujah
As 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 and cheat your fate
And furthermore to heck with hate
Come on and get on board
Lotten da lotten da da da
Lotten da lotten da da dee
Yes we're talking about you and me
And the games people play
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happened to you and me
God grand me the serenity
To just remember who I am
Cause we've given up our sanity
For our kind and our vanity
We turn our back on humanity
And we don't give a lot
Lotten da lotten da da da
Lotten da lotten da da dee
Yes we're talking about you and me
And the games people play
Yes we're talking about you and me
And the games people play
