Hollies The Games We Play Lyrics

The Games We Play Lyrics

Well, I heard your mother say

"What a pleasant boy you're going with"

That I don't mean any harm

And I only want to play



Though I know she's just protecting you

You're just a little girl

Well, if your mother only knew the games we play



When I take you home with me

All the family get along with you

Sitting all through tea

Wondering what we're gonna do



Leaving us alone

The temptation's far too strong

If your family only knew the games we play



Are you sure we're getting away with this?

You cannot fool your mother or your father for long

Only time will tell

If they are right and we are wrong



Are you sure we're getting away with this?

You cannot fool your mother or your father for long

Only time will tell

If they are right and we are wrong



They know the games we play

There's no hiding things like this from them

We know we're not the first

And we'll never be the last



Everybody gets hung up

We might have to pay

And everybody knows the games we play
