Games People Play (new Version)
Hank Williams, Jr.
Oh the games people play now Every night and every day now Never meanin’ what they say now Never sayin’ what they mean So they while away the hours In their ivory towers ’till they’re covered up with flowers In the back of a black limousine Ladada da la la Ladada da da de Talkin’ ’bout you and me And the games people play Oh we make one another cry Break our heart then we say good-bye Cross our hearts and we home to die Left the other one to blame Neither one’ll ever give in So we’re gazin’ at an eight by ten Thinkin’ ’bout the way it mighta been It’s a dirty rotten shame Ladada da la la Ladada da da de Talkin’ ’bout you and me And the games people play People walkin’ up to ya Singing glory hallelujah And they try to sock it to ya In the name of the lord They gonna teach ya how to meditate Read your horoscope and cheat yo fate And furthermore to hell with hate Come on and get on board. Ladada da la la Ladada da da de Talkin’ ’bout you and me And the games people play Look around tell me what you see What’s happenin’ to you and me God grant em the serenity To remember who I am ’Cause you’re givin’ up your sanity For your pride and your vanity Turn your back on humanity And you don’t give a dad da da da da dadadada Ladada da la la Ladada da da de Talkin’ ’bout you and me And the games people play Ladada da la la Ladada da da de Talkin’ ’bout you and me And the games people play Ladada da la la Ladada da da de Talkin’ ’bout you and me And the games people play Ladada da la la Ladada da da de Talkin’ ’bout you and me And the games people play
