Mel Torm — Games People Play

Oh the games people play now Every night and every day now Never meaning what they say now Never saying what they mean While they wile away the hours In their ivory towers Till they're covered up with flowers In the back of a black limousine Oh we make one another cry Break a heart then we say goodbye Cross our hearts and we hope to die Said the other was to blame Neither one will give in Though we gaze at our eight by ten Thinking 'bout the things that might have been And it's a dirty rotten shame People walking up to you Singing glory hallelujah Ten they try 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 faith And further more to hell with hate Come on, get on board Look around 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 All your pride and your vanity Turn you back on humanity And you don't give a la da da da da Talking 'bout you and me And the games people play
