They Just Can't Stop It (The Games People Play) by The Spinners

Can'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 talkin' 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
I guess I'll leave it alone

Well, I spent all the day fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late and I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find the 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 matchin', what they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue, been down too long
Right, wrong, they just can't stop it
Spendin' 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, callin' out my name

So I know where to go
We'll take it slow
Guess I'll call it a day

Games people play night or day
They're just not matchin', what they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue, been down too long
Right, wrong, they just can't stop it
Spendin' all day thinking just of you

Games people play night or day
They're just not matchin', what they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue, been down too long
Right, wrong, they just can't stop it
Spendin' all day thinking just of you
