La da, da da, da da, da da, la da, da da, da da, da dee Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play
All the games people play now, every night and every day now Never meaning what they say now, never saying what they mean And they while away the hours in their ivory towers Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine
La da, da da, da da, da da, la da, da da, da da, da dee Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play
Oh, we make one another cry, break a heart when we say goodbye Cross my heart and we hope to die that the other was to blame Either one will give in, so we gaze at our eight by ten Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been, oh, it's a dirty rotten shame
La da, da da, da da, da da, la da, da da, da da, da dee Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play
People walkin' up to ya, singin' 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 faith And further more to hell with hate, come on and get on board
La da, da da, da da, da da, la da, da da, da da, da dee Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play
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 'Cause you're givin' up your sanity or your pride and your vanity Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a damn, da da da
