Games We Are Playing 

I'm going around this carousel 
I don't know why I just can't tell 
If I jump I may be hurt 
And drag myself all through the dirt 

Cause when I went down the slide 
You let me fall, you had lied 
You taken me to the park 
But I'm not staying after dark 

The children's ways will never change 
We get older to rearrange 

The games we are playing 
The games we are playing 
The games we are playing 

I think I will run away 
The playground's shut there's nowhere to stay 
Excuse me can you spare some change 
Or some advise, it may sound strange 

The children's ways will never change 
We get older to rearrange 

The games we are playing 
The games we are playing 
The games we are playing 

Not as if I hadn't tried 
But I'm too big for this ride 
I've grown-up and moved on 
my younger days have come and gone 

The children's ways will never change 
We get older to rearrange 

The games we are playing 
The games we are playing 
The games we are playing
