Games People Play Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

Oh the games people now every night and every day now 

Never meanin' what they say now never sayin' what they mean 

So 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 la da da da lotten da la a dee de dee 

I'm talkin' bout you and me and the games people play 

Oh we 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 

Oh neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten 

Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame 

Lotten da la da da da... 

[Guitar Interlude] 

People walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah 

Then they're tryin' 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 hell with hate come on and get on board 

Lotten da la da da da... 

Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and me 

God grand 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 lot 

Lotten da la da da da... 

Yes I'm talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
