Lyrics for Games We Play

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
