[Bobby Smith]:
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
[Evette Benton]:
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone
[Bobby Smith]:
Well I
Spent all my 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
[Evette Benton]:
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone
[All]:
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
[Pervis Jackson]:
Twelve forty-five
[Bobby Smith]:
Headed for the subway home
[Pervis Jackson]:
I took my time
[Bobby Smith]:
'Cause I felt so all alone
[Pervis Jackson]:
Not far away
[Bobby Smith]:
I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I
[Pervis Jackson]:
Could see her face
[Bobby Smith]:
Smile as she came, callin' out my name, so I
[Evette Benton]:
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
Guess I'll call it a day
[All]:
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
