Games People Play Lyrics - Wanda Jackson

GAMES PEOPLE PLAY 

Writer Joe South 

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 

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 was to blame 

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... 

People walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah 

And they're tryin' 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 forget about 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 to me 

God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am 

Cause you've given up a sanity for a pride and your vanity 

Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a da da da 

Lotten da la da da da... 

Lotten da la da da da...
