Dolly Parton — Games People Play

[Verse 1] 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 Till they're covered up with flowers In the back of a black limousine [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Oh, they make one another cry Break their hearts and they say goodbye 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
