The Games That People Play Lyrics - Games - Whitehouse

The Games that People Play 

I got a call from Sarah, an old school friend 

Said she was back in town, it was time we met again 

And I wondered how she was, so many years had passed 

She had always been the kind who could make things last 

She told me shed been married 

And of the kids hed left behind 

She was doing better now, him they couldnt find 

She was doing better now, but Lord did it take time 

I met old Mr Jenkins, he always makes me smile 

Carrying a big old box, we stopped and talked a while 

He mentioned J. F. Junior, the curse and the young bride 

But then again he said, were millions for whom nobody cried 

He had a serious problem 

The damn thing went and stopped 

Fifty years of company," he said "of this old wooden clock 

Fifty years of company, the damn thing is all I got" 

Dont go looking for the reasons, 

Cause in time theyll fade away 

And the rules, they just keep changing everyday 

In the games that people play 

I walked into Harrys place, to leave the day behind 

Saw James sitting there with something on his mind 

He asked me join him, which I was glad to do 

He was shinning like a dime, all polished up and new 

He had something to tell me 

Personal, no less 

Hed suggested marriage, James simply said yes 

Hed suggested marriage, James smiled and just said yes. 

Dont go looking for the reasons, 

For in time theyll fade away 

And the rules, they just keep changing everyday 

In the games that people play 

Step right up and take a gamble 

Dont keep yourself locked away 

Take a chance and let the dice roll as they may 

In the games that people play 

The games people play . . . . 

Dont go looking for the reasons . . . .
