Track nr. 5 from the 1970 LP "Doris Troy"
Written by Joe South
Oh, the games people play
every night and every day
Never meaning what they say
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
La, da, da, da, da, da, dee
I'm talking 'bout you and me
and the games people play
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
Look around, tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
to just remember who I am
La, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, dee
Talking 'bout you and me
and the games people play
