Lyrics Games - Shalamar

Call it a bad situation the other day
I called on my friend and help me on the way
I thought he was someone that I can trust,
But I must have been askin' a little too much
Before I can even a-leave my room,
I was a talk of the town by the afternoon
Everyone cashed in on the glory
And added their own a little twist to the story.

And by the time they got it back for me
It grown a lot much bigger than my eyes can see
My lady came knockin' at my door
Then she said to me she didn't want me no more
I didn't know what to say or do
Somebody took a lie and made it come true
Why do we spread much devastation
And hurtin' each other all across the nation?

If we're all the same,
Why do people play games?
We live our lives insane
Runnin' in and out games
Who's playin' games?
Everybody takes a turn
Who's playin' games?
When will they ever learn?
Who's playin' games?
I don't wanna be left out
Who's playin' games?
Who's playin'?

You know it took a long time to recover
I have to go find me another lover
Somebody told her to beware
And my love has disadvantaged in thin air
And we were finished before we got started
And now we're both sit brokenhearted
Somebody had it in for me
And so now our love it will never be

It's a hell of a lesson to learn
To trust someone and then get burned
But I guess there is a price we pay
'Cause we all go through it every day
And just because you're not involved
That don't get the problem solved
It's a game, it got no score
And if you don't play, you're a loser for sure

Whenever there's a time for truth
The time is now, everybody unite
We can have a better world
So get it together, let's make it right
If peace to you and love for her
Sent from this heaven above
Everybody needs a friend
The perfect way to find true love
