Games - Bobby Womack

La La Laa

You say you like all kinds of music

No favourites

But then its got to happen in its own space and time

The 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

The Games

That we begin

Once they start they never never, cease to end

I know you heard what I said my friend

You see

Cos as the start

Of every every every game

Theres a part of you that gonna never never change

Time oh

Time has a story

It has a story

And the games oh

Did you see us goin up to you

Nobody but you

You gotta make your moves

Make your moves whilst you still can win em, win em

But you can’t never never let the game close in on you

OH

Moves

To stay ahead

Well, I’m sick and tired of them yessin' me

Just for my bread

I know y’all heard what I said

See

Cos at the start

Just like they play your favourite 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

And how you play the game

Can’t you see that its all up to you

Nobody but you

You gotta make your moves

Make your moves whilst you still can win em

Still got a chance brother

But you can’t 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

(the games people play, well)

She say no

If I say stay then she don’t say go

Its all about, games

(the games people play, well)

Oh girl have just you to let you down

Fallin in and out of love

(the games people play, well)
