There is also a wikipedia.org page on "The Games People Play" that has some great info on the song. The lyrics below are from that site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_People_Play_(song)
"Games People Play" is a song written, composed and performed by singer/song-writer Joe South. In 1968, the song was released on Joe's debut album: Introspect. It won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1970. The song has been covered by Jerry Lee Lewis, Tesla, The Georgia Satellites, Big Tom and The Mainliners, Bill Haley and His Comets, The Tremeloes, Johnny Johnson & the Bandwagon, Ike and Tina Turner, Dreadzone, Hank Williams Jr., Inner Circle as well as others. It was also mentioned in the Brian Wilson song "Games Two Can Play" from his unreleased album Adult Child.
Noteably, in Singapore circa 1969, an instrumental version showed-up on a single by The White Crane Orchestra. The reggae band Inner Circle also released a cover version which was quite popular in Europe for a while in the mid-90s. In 2006, it was covered by Jools Holland on his album Moving Out to the Country with guest vocalist Marc Almond. The Scottish singer, Dick Gaughan, covered it on his album A Different Kind of Love Song.
Whoa--the games people play now.
Every night and every day now.
Never meanin' what they say now.
Never sayin' what they mean.
While they wile away the hours
in their ivory towers,
'till they're covered-up with flowers
in the back of a black limousine.
[Chorus]
La, da, da da, da-da da;
La, da, da da, da-da de...
talkin' 'bout you-n-me
and the games people play--now.
Whoa we make one another cry,
break a heart then we say goodbye;
cross our hearts and we hope to die
that the other was to blame.
But neither one will ever give-in,
so we gaze at an eight-by-ten
thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
and it's a dirty rotten shame.
[Chorus]
People walkin'-up to ya,
singin' glory hallelujah
'n' they're tryin' ta sock it to ya,
in the name of the Lord.
They're gonna teach you how to meditate,
read your horoscope, cheat your fate.
And furthermore to Hell with hate
Come-on and get-on board.
[Chorus]
Look-around tell me what you see.
What's a-happenin' to you and me?
God grant me the serenity
to jus' remember who I am.
'cause you've given-up your sanity
for your pride and your vanity,
turn your back on humanity;
Oh and you don't give a da da da da da.
[Chorus x 3]
-Joe South

Description:
The Spinners "Games People Play" 1975 They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)", also known as "Games People Play", is a song recorded by American R&B vocal group The Spinners. Released in 1975 from their Pick of the Litter album, the song was a crossover success, spending a week at number one on the Hot Soul Singles chart and peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song was co-written by Joseph B. Jefferson, Bruce Hawes and Charles Simmons and was produced by Thom Bell. Trading vocals with Bobby Smith and Pervis Jackson, whose resonant "12:45" interjection became a hallmark of the song, is backing session singer Barbara Ingram. Because the group was touring at the time, Henry Fambrough was unavailable to put the finishing touches on the recording. Bell was under the gun to complete the production, so he chose Ingram to step in, and in doing so lent a whole new dimension to the lyrical banter

Games People Play-Lyrics:
Where do we go from here now that all of
the children are growin' up?
And how to we spend our lives if there's
no one to lend us a hand?
I don't wanna live here no more,
I don't wanna stay.
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
quietly fading away.
Games people play, you take it or you
leave it.
Things that they say, honor brite
If I promise you the moon and the stars,
would you believe it?
Game people play in the middle of the night.
Where do we go from here now that all of
the children have grown up?
And how do we spend our time knowin'
nobody gives us a damn?
I don't wanna live here no more,
I don't wanna stay.
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
quietly fading away. Yeah
Games people play, you take it or you leave it
Things that they say, just don't make it right
If I'm telling you the truth right now,
do you believe it?
Games people play in the middle of the night.
Games people play, you take it or you leave it
Things that they say, honor brite.
If I promise you the moon and the stars would you believe it?
Games people play in the middle of the night.
Games people play, you take it or you leave it
Things that they say, just don't make it right
If I'm telling you the truth right now,
do you believe me?
Games people play in the middle of the night.
Note: lead vocals- Lenny Zakatek
