Games People Play lyrics

Where do we go from here now that

All other children are growin' up

And how do we spend our lives

If there's no-one to lend us a hand?

I don't wanna live here no more,

I don't wanna stay

Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,

Quietly fading away.

Games people play,

You take it or you leave it

Things that they say, honor bright

If I promise you the Moon and the Stars,

Would you believe it?

Games people play in the middle of the night.

Where do we go from here now that

All of the children have grown up?

And how do we spend our time

Knowin' nobody gives us a damn?

I don't wanna live here no more,

I don't wanna stay

Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,

Quietly fading away.

Games people play,

You take it or leave it

Things that they say,

Just don't make it right

If I'm tellin' you the truth right now,

Do you believe it?

Games people play in the middle of the night.

Games people play,

You take it or you leave it

Things that they say, honor bright

If I promise you the Moon and the Stars,

Would you believe it?

Games people play in the middle of the night.

Games people play,

You take it or leave it

Things that they say,

Just don't make it right

If I'm tellin' you the truth right now,

Do you believe it?

Games people play in the middle of the night.
