Games People Play

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

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 Brite

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 you leave it

Things that they say, Just don't make it right

If I'm telling 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 Brite

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 you 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
