Subject: Lyr Add: GAMES PEOPLE PLAY (Joe South) From: Jeri Date: 03 Mar 02 - 04:43 PM Games People Play By Joe South This is how Dick Gaughan sings it on A Different Kind of Love Song. I think it's a lot closer to the way Joe South sang it when he had the hit with it than the version JustaPicker linked to. The games people play, now Every night and every day, now Never meaning what they say, now And never saying what they mean For they while away the hours In their ivory towers Till they cover them with flowers In the back of a black limousine la da la da da da da, la da da da da de, I'm a talkin' about you and me and the games people play Well, we make one another cry We break a heart and say goodbye We cross our hearts and we hope to die That the other was to blame Neither one of us will give in And you know it's a sin When you think of things That might have been It's a goddam shame (repeat chorus) People walkin' right up to ya Singing "Glory Hallelujah" And they try to sock it to ya In the name of the Lord And they teach you how to meditate Read your horoscope and seal your fate And it's almost "To hell with hate" - Come on brother, get on board (repeat chorus) So look around, tell me what do you see What is happening to you and me God gave us the serenity But he said "remember who I am" For you've thrown away our sanity Your pride and your vanity You've turned your back on humanity And you don't give a damn |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: the games people play From: Gary T Date: 03 Mar 02 - 05:00 PM I agree that what Jeri posted is far closer to what Joe South recorded. However, the lines below:
God gave us the serenity I remember to have been:
God grant me the serenity |
