They Just Can't Stop It The (Games People Play)

(album: Pick Of The Litter - 1975)

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 talking 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 the day
Fixing 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 matching
What they should do
Keeps me feeling blue

Been down too long
Right, wrong, I just can't stop it
Spending all day
Thinking just of you

12:45
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
Smiling as she came, calling out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
I guess I'll call it a day

Games people play
Night or day, they're just not matching
What they should do
Keeps me feeling blue

Been down too long
Right, wrong, I just can't stop it
Spending all day
Thinking just of you

Not far away
I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I
Could see her face
Smiling as she came, calling out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
I guess I'll call it a day

Games people play
Night or day, they're just not matching
What they should do
Keeps me feeling blue

Been down too long
Right, wrong, I just can't stop it
Spending all day
Thinking just of you

Games people play
Night or day, they're just not matching
What they should do
Keeps me feeling blue

Been down too long
