Games People Play

Hank Williams Jr.

Oh the games people play now

Every night and every day now

Never meaning what they say now

Never saying what they mean

So they while away the hours

In their ivory towers

Till there covered up with flowers

In the back of a black limousine



Talkin bout you and me

And the games people play



Oh we make one another cry

Break our heart

Then we say goodbye

Cause our heart say

We hope to die

Let the other one to blame

Neither one will ever give in

So were gazing at an 8 by 10

Thinking bout the way

It might have been

Its a dirty, rotten, shame



Talkin bout you and me

And the games people play



People walking up to ya

Sayin glory, hallelujah

And they try to sock it to ya

In the name of the Lord

They gonna teach you

How to meditate

Read your horoscope

And cheat your faith

And furthermore to hell with hate

Come on and get on board



Talkin bout you and me

And the games people play



Look around tell me

What you see

Whats happening to you and me

God grant me the serenity

To remember who I am

Cause your giving up your sanity

For your pride and your vanity

Turn your back on humanity

And you don't give a damn



Talkin bout you and me

And the games people play

(Repeat till end)
