Lotten da, lotten da, da, da, da
Lotten da, lotten da, da, dee
Talking about you and me
And the games people play
Oh, the games people now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
And 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, lotten da, da, da, da
Lotten da, lotten da, da, dee
Talking about you and me
And the games people play
We make one another cry
Break a heart and 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
Thinking about the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
Lotten da, lotten da, da, da, da
Lotten da, lotten da, da, dee
Talking about you and me
And the games people play
People walking up to ya
Singing, "Glory hallelujah"
And they're trying 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 to hell with hate
Come on and get on board
Lotten da, lotten da, da, da, da
Lotten da, lotten da, da, dee
Talking about you and me
And the games people play
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me?
God, grant me the serenity
To remember who I am
Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a da, da, da
Lotten da, lotten da, da, da, da
Lotten da, lotten da, da, dee
Talking about you and me
And the games people play
