Lovers they sometimes get
On each other's nerves
They can really really be so mean
Playing around with words
Wanna know why do we do it
Why we choose to break each others hearts
Why when it keeps us far apart
Ain't it funny the things we do
For the sake of pride
It don't matter who might get hurt
As long as your satisfied
We ought to be right to each other
Ooh you know the things I'm speakin' of
Why do we mess around with love
Too many games that people play
Too many games that people play
Far too many games that people play
Too many games that people play
Too many people they get hung up
On those he say she say games
We don't care who might get hurt
And you know that's just insane
We've got to stop look listen
At the way we treat each other so unkind
Why when it's just a waste of time
Too many games that people play
Too many games that people play
Far too many games that people play
Too many games that people play
You know what I'm talkin' bout
There can really be no doubt
I hope that you and I can work it out
Stop these silly games that people play
Too many games that people play
Too many games that people play
