Games We Play Lyrics


Hollies Games We Play


Well, I heard your mother say

what a pleasant boy you're going with.

That I don't mean any harm

and I only want to play.

Though I know she's just protecting you,

you're just a little girl.

Well, if your mother only knew the games we play.



When I take you home with me,

all the family get along with you.

Sitting all through tea,

wondering what we're gonna do.

Leaving us alone

the temptation's far too strong.

If your family only knew the games we play.



Are you sure we're getting away with this?

You cannot fool your mother or your father for long.

Only time will tell

if they are right and we are wrong.



{interlude}



Are you sure we're getting away with this?

You cannot fool your mother or your father for long.

Only time will tell

if they are right and we are wrong.



{mini interlude}



They know the games we play

there's no hiding things like this from them.

We know we're not the first

and we'll never be the last.

Everybody gets hung up,

we might have to pay,

and everybody knows the games we play.
