Waylon Jennings - Games People Play Lyrics
(Joe South)Oh, the games people nowEvery night and every day nowNever meanin' what they say nowNever sayin' what they mean, oh no.Well, they wile away the hoursIn their ivory towersTill they're covered up with flowersIn the back of a black limousine, oh yeah.Lotten da la da da daLotten da la a dee de deeTalkin' bout you and meAnd the games people play, oh now.Well, we make one another cryBreak a heart then we say goodbyeCross our hearts and we hope to dieThat the other one's to blame.But neither one will ever give inSo we gaze at an eight by tenThinkin' bout the things that might have beenAnd it's a dirty rotten shame, yes it does.--- Instrumental ---People walkin' up to yaShouting glory hallelujahWell, they wanna sock it to yaIn the name of the Lord.Gonna teach you how to meditateRead your horoscope and cheat your fateFurthermore to hell with hateCome on and get on board.Lotten da la da da daLotten da la a dee de deeTalkin' bout you and meAnd the games people play, oh now.Look around and tell me what you seeWhat's happened to you and meGod give me the serenityTo remember who I am.'Cause you've given up your sanityFor your pride and your vanityTurn your back on humanity'Cause you don't give a do de dee.Lotten da la da da daLotten da la a dee de deeTalkin' bout you and meAnd the games people play, oh now...
