Circumstantial Evidence

(Sid Johnson, Charles Muldrow) 

  Call it a bad situation the other day 
  I called on my friend and help me on the way 
  I thought he was someone that I can trust, 
  But I must have been askin' a little too much 
  Before I can even a-leave my room, 
  I was a talk of the town by the afternoon 
  Everyone cashed in on the glory 
  And added their own a little twist to the story. 

  And by the time they got it back for me 
  It grown a lot much bigger than my eyes can see 
  My lady came knockin' at my door 
  Then she said to me she didn't want me no more 
  I didn't know what to say or do 
  Somebody took a lie and made it come true 
  Why do we spread much devastation 
  And hurtin' each other all across the nation? 

  (Chorus:) 
  If we're all the same, 
  Why do people play games? 
  We live our lives insane 
  Runnin' in and out games 
  Who's playin' games? 
  Everybody takes a turn 
  Who's playin' games? 
  When will they ever learn? 
  Who's playin' games? 
  I don't wanna be left out 
  Who's playin' games? 
  Who's playin'? 

  You know it took a long time to recover 
  I have to go find me another lover 
  Somebody told her to beware 
  And my love has disadvantaged in thin air 
  And we were finished before we got started 
  And now we're both sit brokenhearted 
  Somebody had it in for me 
  And so now our love it will never be 

  It's a hell of a lesson to learn 
  To trust someone and then get burned 
  But I guess there is a price we pay 
  'Cause we all go through it every day 
  And just because you're not involved 
  That don't get the problem solved 
  It's a game, it got no score 
  And if you don't play, you're a loser for sure 

  (Chorus) 

  Whenever there's a time for truth 
  The time is now, everybody unite 
  We can have a better world 
  So get it together, let's make it right 
  If peace to you and love for her 
  Sent from this heaven above 
  Everybody needs a friend 
  The perfect way to find true love

  (Chorus x3)
