Can't get no rest, don't know how I work all day
When will I learn memories get in the way
I walk around, I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud
But I don't see at all
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't

Know where to go, it's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone

Well I spent all my day fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late, and I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find love, peace of mind, some other time
But I still have today
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't

Know where to go, it's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone

Games people play, night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do, keeps me feelin' blue
Been down too long, right, wrong, they just can't stop it
Spendin' all day thinking just of you

Twelve forty-five, headed for the subway home
I took my time cause I felt so all alone
Not far away I heard a funny sound, took a look around
And I could see her face
Smilin' as she came, callin' out my name, so I

Know where to go, we'll take it slow
Guess I'll call it a day

Games people play, night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do, keeps me feelin' blue
Been down too long, right, wrong, they just can't stop it
Spendin' all day thinking just of you
