Games

(альбом: The Poet - 1981)

La la la, laaaa, la la
You see I like all kinds of music
No favorites
But everything's got to happen in its own space and time

Games
That people play
They're so afraid to face the time of day
So they run away
You see
They're afraid to live
Afraid to let
They don't wanna give unless they get
Unless they get

Games
That we begin
Once they start they never never, cease to end
I know you heard what I said my friend
You see
Cause at the start
Of every every every game
There's a part of you that gonna never never change (never change)

Time oh
Time has a story
It has a story, hmm
And the games oh
Did you see it's all up to you
Nobody but you
You gotta make your moves
Make your moves while you still can win em, win em
But you cant never never let the game close in on you
Ooooh!

Moves
To stay ahead
Well, I'm sick and tired of them yessing me
Just for my bread
I know y'all heard what I said
See
Cause at the start
Just like they play your favorite song
They play it over and over and over again 'til the grooves are gone

Time oh
Time has a story
It has a story, story, story, story, hmm
And how you play the game
Cant you see that its all up to you
Nobody but you
You gotta make your moves
Make your moves while you still can win em
Still got a chance brother
But you cant never let the moves close in
Close in on you
Woooo!

Games
Well
I'm talking about those games that people play
(The games people play, well)
I said to myself, I said self,
What a way, what a way
To pass the time of day
(Those games people play, well)
Check it out

Its all about those games, oooooh
(The games people play, well)
Its like

If I say stay, damn if she don't say go
Its all about, games
(The games people play, well)
Oh girl have to just to let you down
Falling in and out of love
(The games people play, well)
