SPINNERS
- Games People Play Lyrics / with translationsCan't get no rest
Don't know how I work all day
When will I learn?
Memories get in the way
I walk around
I can't hear a sound
folks talking' loud, but I
don't see at all
I gotta get away
gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
guess I'll leave it alone
well I
Spent all my day
Fixing' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late
And I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find
Love, peace of mind
some other time, but I
still have today
I gotta get away
gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone
(chorus)
Games people play
Night or day they're
just not matching'
What they should do
Keeps me feeling' blue
Been down too long
Right, wrong
I just can't stop it
Spending' all day
Thinking just of you
Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone
Not far away
I heard a funny sound
took a look around, and I
could see her face
Smile as she came,
calling' out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
Guess I'll call it a day
(chorus to fade)
Don't know how I work all day
When will I learn?
Memories get in the way
I walk around
I can't hear a sound
folks talking' loud, but I
don't see at all
I gotta get away
gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
guess I'll leave it alone
well I
Spent all my day
Fixing' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late
And I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find
Love, peace of mind
some other time, but I
still have today
I gotta get away
gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone
Games people play
Night or day they're
just not matching'
What they should do
Keeps me feeling' blue
Been down too long
Right, wrong
I just can't stop it
Spending' all day
Thinking just of you
Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone
Not far away
I heard a funny sound
took a look around, and I
could see her face
Smile as she came,
calling' out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
Guess I'll call it a day
