There once was a woman with wings
Happy with the simple things
She had silk suspenders and high, heeled, stocking thighs
Helping me in my need
She was a friend, indeed
She was my baby until the day she died

Ain’t nothin’ like a gang bang
Ain’t nothin’ like a gang bang
Ain’t nothin’ like a gang bang to blow away the blues.
(repeat)

She was a woman who was twice my size
She looked into my eyes
She said “Only you can blow my blues away”
She said “I’ll tell you what to do
Bring all your friends with you
And you can come up and see me any ol’ time of day”

Ain’t nothin’ like a gang bang
Ain’t nothin’ like a gang bang
Ain’t nothin’ like a gang bang to blow away the blues, ahhh
(repeat)

There were twenty-seven guys
An unexpected surprise
She just kept on rockin’ ’til the night was gone
She was smilin’ through the tears
For a hundred and fifty years
Just lickin’ her lips and helpin’ me along

Ain’t nothin’ like a gang bang
Ain’t nothin’ like a gang bang
Ain’t nothin’ like a gang bang to blow away the blues.

Next week, on U-62, he’s back!
And this time, he’s mad.
Gandhi II!

No more Mr. Passive Resistance.
He’s out to kick some butt.
This is one bad mother.
You don’t want to mess with him.
“Don’t move, slimeball.”
He’s a one-man wrecking crew.
But he also knows how to party.
“Gimme a steak. Medium rare.”
There is only one law–his law.
Gandhi II!

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
-Whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside
-Whistling tunes we’re kissing baboons in the jungle
It’s a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears

Jeux sans frontieres

Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching’s is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
-Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
-Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle
It’s a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears

Jeux sans frontieres

(Joe South)

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Oh they whine away the hours
In their ivory towers
Til they’re covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

La la la mmm da da da
La la la mmm da da dee
I’m talkin’ ’bout you and me
And the games people play

Oh they make one another cry
Break their hearts and they say good-bye
Cross their heart and they hope to die
That the other was to blame
Neither one will ever give in
So they gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin’ ’bout the way it might have been
And it’s a dirty rotten shame

La la la mmm da da da
La la la mmm da da dee
I’m talkin’ ’bout you and me
And the games people play

Oh they teach how to meditate
Read your horoscope and teach you faith
The furthermore the hell with hate
Come on and get on board
Look around and tell me what you see
What’s a-happenin’ to you and to me
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am

La la la mmm da da da
La la la mmm da da dee
I’m talkin’ ’bout you and me
And the games people play

Oh the games people play now
Every night and everyday now
Never meanin’ what they say now
Never sayin’ what they mean

Why they waol away the hours
In their ivory towers
To be covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limosene

Oh, we made one another cry
Break our hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and hope to die
“Cept the other one’s to blame

Neither one will ever feel it
So we gaze at an 8 by 10
Thinkin’ ’bout things that might have been
OW, It’s a dirty rotten shame

CHORUS:
Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin’ ’bout you and me
And the games people play

People walkin up a to ya
Singin Glory Hallelujah
Sayin’ what the hell’s it to ya
If I do it in the name of the Lord

Gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your fate
Brother I’m gonna elevate
Come on let’s get on board

Chorus (x2)

Look around tell me what you see
What’s happenin’ to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am
Cause you’re givin up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
OW, When you don’t give a damn
Not a damn

CHORUS

Latten da Latten da da da
Latten da Latten da da de
Talkin’ bout everybody
Talkin’ bout you
Ah you and me
You and me
I’m a talkin bout the games
The games we all play

Latten da Latten da da da (La da da)
Latten da Latten da da de (Latten da da de)
Oh the games
Talkin’ bout the games people play
Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de (Repeat to fade)

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean

And 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 da
La-da da da da da de
Talking ’bout you and me
And the games people play

Oh 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

Neither one will give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinking ’bout the things that might have been
It’s a dirty rotten shame

Repeat Chorus

People walking up to you
Singing glory hallelulia
And they’re tryin to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord

They’re gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
And further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board

Repeat Chorus

Look around tell me what you see
What’s happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am

Cause you’ve given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turns you sad on humanity
And you don’t give a da da da da da

Repeat Chorus

First time it’s rained since I came to the city
Seemed like a good time to write
And even now as I look out my window
Rain clouds are chasing the light

The play games of magic in the night…

Lately I’ve stayed with the lady from Denver
She said to come by for awhile
Took me on down to her place by the river
Carried me off on her smile

We play games of magic all the while…

I hope this letter finds you well
I wrote to tell you ’bout my change of plans
I won’t be home tomorrow night
I’ll be alright I hope you’ll understand

All of my life I’ve been looking for somethin’
But I guess you know me by now
Searching for secrets and being the eternal child
Playing games of magic all the while.

I’m tired of sittin’ here thinkin’ bout you
Where you goin’, who you wit, and why you ain’t called yet
When the next set a table for two
With massage, roses and everything
You used to give me, now is gone
Out of my mind is where I don’t belong
Already said be careful what you do to me
Cuz it might come back to you

Chorus
Why you wanna play games, I ain’t got time
Ya see, I can play it better than ya
Makin’ me feel like I should play the same games
Do you really wanna?
Still playin’ games, I ain’t got time
Ya see, I can play it better than ya
Makin’ me feel like I should play the same games
Do you really wanna?

You know I could be out there doin’ the fool
With the next nigga wanna spend some time with me
Even though I’d rather be with you
It’s like, outta sight, outta mind

What do you expect for me to feel
I ain’t got the time to sit and fade around
Thinkin’ bout where you goin’, why you ain’t called
Who you wit, whachu doin’

And I don’t know what you talkin’ about
You say you need some time to find yourself
It only sounds like another excuse
Must be someone else
That you been givin’ all your time

Probably trickin’ every dime
While I pay the car note, pay the rent
Pay the phone bill
You really need to stop your playin’ games

Chorus

Bridge
See, if I didn’t answer my cell
Would you trip out?
And if I didn’t answer my page
Would you freak out?
If I stayed all night at the club
Would you bug out?
And if I had numbers in my pants
Would you check out?

If I put my girls before you
Would you stress out?
Late night calls from my ex
Would you be out?
Tricks are for kids silly rabbit, I’m grown
Please take your games, go on
Play it on your own

Chorus x2 & Bridge

See, I can play it better

Mmm
Oh yeah
Mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Yeeeeeeah

What is this
That I’m feelin’ deep inside
Emptiness
Girl, I see it in your eyes
A choice to make
Will it be me or will it be you?
Let’s be honest with each other
There’s one thing I don’t wanna do

I don’t wanna play no games
(I don’t wanna play games with you)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Leave me, yes I’m gonna miss you)
If you’re not serious
(Don’t wanna waste no time)
If you’ll be better off without me
Then I’ll be better off without you

Tried to make it last, two damn years
Just couldn’t get things right
Crazy love, up and down
Guilty conscience all the time
Tired of games we play
Got to turn this thing around
Inside I know you feel the same
I can see clearly now, yeah
(It’s been a long time comin’)
See girl, some things must come to an end
(And I don’t wanna lose a friend, no)
I don’t, I don’t wanna lose a friend

I don’t wanna play no games
(I don’t wanna play games with you)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Leave me, yes I’m gonna miss you)
If you’re not serious
(Don’t wanna waste no time)
If you’ll be better off without me
Then I’ll be better off without you

Baby I never meant to break you down
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
Seems like we always had to fool around
(Baby, I know girl, I know)
Breakin’ up is so damn hard to do
(So damn hard to do)
And I don’t wanna lose a friend, no
(I don’t wanna lose the best thing I ever had)

I don’t wanna play no games
(I don’t wanna play games with you)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Leave me, yes I’m gonna miss you)
If you’re not serious
(Don’t wanna waste no time)
If you’ll be better off without me
Then I’ll be better off without you

I don’t wanna play no games
(Tell your mama you are comin’ home)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Tell your daddy you did me wrong)
If you’re not serious
(See I know you’re not serious about this thing)
If you’ll be better off without me
(But it’s alright)
Then I’ll be better off without you
(It’s alright)

I don’t wanna play no games
(I don’t wanna play games with you)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Leave me, yes I’m gonna miss you)
If you’re not serious
(Don’t wanna waste no time)
If you’ll be better off without me
Then I’ll be better off without you
