Games People Play Lyrics - Mel Tillis

Oh, the games people now, every night and every day now 

Never meaning what they say now, never saying what they mean 

Oh, 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 da da dee 

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 

People walking up to ya singing, "Glory Hallelujah" 

And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord 

Lotten da, la da da da, lotten da, la a da da dee 

Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play 

Oh, 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 

Some give up their sanity for their pride and their vanity 

Turn their back on humanity and they don't give a da da da da 

Lotten da, la da da da, lotten da, la a da da dee 

Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play
