I'll sing, I'll rap and then I'll say
Eb Db
To the story about the games people play
Fm
Life is short, you won't be left behind
Eb
So you use games to ease your mind
Db Eb
Try to make changes, try to make it right
Fm
Nd body listens so you gotta fight
Db
Speak your mind and then you'll say
Eb
You're just gettin' old by the games people play
[Chorus]

Fm
Bills to pay, you got a baby on the way
Eb
Your wife threw you out so you just can't stay
Db
Show no shame when you called her names
Eb
She got sick and tired of you playing games
Fm
You lost your mind and you lost your cool
Eb
'Cause the games you played weren't fit for a fool
Db
Never win, you always lose
Eb
If the game ain't drugs it's got to be booze
[Verse 3]

[Crap Game Chatter]
[Rap]
Fm
Winners have the answers for us all
Eb
Losers have the problems that make them fall
Db
Winners have money in a stash
Eb
Losers just brag and talk big trash
Fm
Winners go down in history
Eb
Losers just cause us misery
Db
Winners have the feeling you just can't beat
Eb
Losers have the agony of defeat
Fm
Blackjack, poker, cee-lo, roulette
Eb
Like Pac-man they eat up every buck you bet
Db
Numbers, sports and OTB
Eb
Your horse took last place, you see
Fm
You took your last quarter to play the slots
Eb
Hoping and praying you'd hit the jackpot
Db
But when it's all over, everything's the same
Eb
You're just one of those people just playin' the game
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
Games people play
Db Eb

Ab Eb

[Rap]
Fm
Winners will stand out, they're the best
Eb
Losers are the ones that blend with the rest
Db
Winners will do without being asked
Eb
Losers are the ones that try to be last
Eb
Winners will talk rather than fight
Fm
Losers need a gun cause they don't see the light
Eb
Winners are the people you remember you met
Db
Losers are the ones you try to forget
Fm
You had 4 aces, you thought it was enough
Eb
The next man beat you with a royal flush
Db
You played every red across the track
Eb
Before you sat down it came out black
Fm
You're sittin' with 20, you thought you had the juice
Eb
The dealer had 19, he pulled a deuce
Db
You kept yellin' seven with all that mouth
Fm
But when you threw the dice, it just crapped out
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
Games people play
Db Eb

Ab Eb

Db Eb
