[00:12.42]Oh, the games people play now,
[00:15.81]Every night and every day now
[00:18.99]Never meaning what they say now,

[00:25.27]They just wile away the hours,
[00:28.68]In their ivory towers
[00:31.85]Til theyre covered up with flowers,
[00:34.33]In the back of a black limousine.

[00:51.02]Oh, we make one another cry,
[00:54.28]Break our heart when we say goodbye
[00:57.48]Cross our hearts and we hope to die
[01:00.74]Bet the other was to blame.
[01:04.14]Neither one ever give an inch
[01:07.04]So we gaze at our eight by ten
[01:10.34]Thinking bout the things that might of been
[01:13.29]And its a dirty rotten shame.
