The Games That People Play

The Games that People PlayI got a call from Sarah, an old school friend

Said she was back in town, it was time we met again

And I wondered how she was, so many years had passed

She had always been the kind who could make things lastShe told me shed been married

And of the kids hed left behind

She was doing better now, him they couldnt find

She was doing better now, but Lord did it take timeI met old Mr Jenkins, he always makes me smile

Carrying a big old box, we stopped and talked a while

He mentioned J. F. Junior, the curse and the young bride

But then again he said, were millions for whom nobody criedHe had a serious problem

The damn thing went and stopped

Fifty years of company," he said "of this old wooden clock

Fifty years of company, the damn thing is all I got"Dont go looking for the reasons,

Cause in time theyll fade away

And the rules, they just keep changing everyday

In the games that people playI walked into Harrys place, to leave the day behind

Saw James sitting there with something on his mind

He asked me join him, which I was glad to do

He was shinning like a dime, all polished up and new

He had something to tell me

Personal, no less

Hed suggested marriage, James simply said yes

Hed suggested marriage, James smiled and just said yes.Dont go looking for the reasons,

For in time theyll fade away

And the rules, they just keep changing everyday

In the games that people playStep right up and take a gamble

Dont keep yourself locked away

Take a chance and let the dice roll as they may

In the games that people playThe games people play . . . .Dont go looking for the reasons . . . .
