Games People Play - Four Tops, The Spinners

Can’t get no rest

Don’t know how I work all day

When will I learn?

Memories get in the way

I walk around

I can’t hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but I

Don’t see at all

I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don’t

Know where to go

It’s hopeless so

I guess I’ll leave it alone

Well I

Spent all my day

Fixin' up to go somewhere

Thought I was late

And I found she wasn’t there

I guess I’ll find

The love, peace of mind, some other time, but I

Still have today

I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don’t

Know where to go

It’s hopeless so

I guess I’ll leave it alone

Games people play

Night or day they’re just not matchin'

What they should do

Keeps me feelin' blue

Been down too long

Right, wrong, they just can’t stop it

Spendin' all day

Thinking just of you

Twelve forty-five

Headed for the subway home

I took my time

'Cause I felt so all alone

Not far away

I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I

Could see her face

Smile as she came, callin' out my name, so I

Know where to go

We’ll take it slow

Guess I’ll call it a day

Games people play

Night or day they’re just not matchin'

What they should do

Keeps me feelin' blue

Been down too long

Right, wrong, they just can’t stop it

Spendin' all day

Thinking just of you

Games people play

Night or day they’re just not matchin'

What they should do

Keeps me feelin' blue

Been down too long

Right, wrong, they just can’t stop it

Spendin' all day

Thinking just of you
