They Just Can’t Stop It the (Games People Play) Lyrics 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 matching
    what they should do
    keeps me feelin’ blue

    been down too long
    right wrong i just can’t stop it
    spending all day
    thinking just of you

    45
    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
    smilin’ as she came callin’ out my name so i
    know where to go
    we’ll take it slow
    i guess i’ll call it a day

    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

    not far away
    i heard a funny sound took a look around and i
    could see her face
    smiling as she came callin’ out my name so i
    know where to go
    we’ll take it slow
    i guess i’ll call it a day

    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

    games people play
    night or day they’re just not matching
    what they should do
    keeps me feeling blue

    been down too long
