I would really appreciate the lyrics to Joe South's Games People Play.
This is not the Alan Parsons song by the same name. Thanks.

GAMES PEOPLE PLAY
- words and music by Joe South

Oh, the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' 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
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

Oh, we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame
Neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
It's a dirty rotten shame

La, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

People walkin' up to you
Singin' Glory Hallelujah!
And they're tryin' to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord
They gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate
Come on, get on board

La, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, dee
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 me 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 da, da, da, da, da

La, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

La, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
