Games We Play

Amiel


You played a shady game 
You dried up all I had 
Then you did it again 
Oh how could you do that? 
Just lies and token promises 
You hit me where I stand 
I guess I must deserve this 
We all get dealt our hand 

Keep yourself together 
Keep it straight 
Keep cool - keep cool 
You wanna play in the game 
Then you'd better mind the rules 
There's nothing to be gained 
By screwing me now 
It won't do- it won't do 
It's all gonna be coming back around to you 

It's just those games we play 
Day and night 
You chose this way 
Be satisfied 
It's just those games we play 
For wrong or right 
Win or lose 
Can't give up the fight 

The talk will keep you down 
You won't know where you stand 
Their praise will fade away 
Can't take dignity back 
When friends become your enemies 
You've cheated all you can 
Guess that's the price you pay 
We all get dealt our hand 

Keep yourself together 
Keep it straight 
Keep cool - keep cool 
You wanna play in the game 
Then you'd better mind the rules 
There's nothing to be gained 
By screwing me now 
It won't do- it won't do 
It's all gonna be coming back around to you 

It's just those games we play 
Day and night 
You chose this way 
Be satisfied 
It's just those games we play 
For wrong or right 
Win or lose 
Can't give up the fight 

I cut you off my list 
Only cause you insist that you are not my friend 
And you are not the first to go 
But the smaller it grows the bigger I count my win 
Cause I have wasted too much time on reason and rhyme 
Trying to justify your head 
Now I don't mind how many times you trying take me on 
Or if we never play again 

It's just those games we play 
Day and night 
You chose this way 
Be satisfied 
It's just those games we play 
For wrong or right 
Win or lose 
Can't give up the fight
