The Hollies：Meaning of The Games We Play Songmeaning

The Hollies' song The Games We Play talks about a young couple who are sneaking around and playing games. The boy's intentions are innocent, but the girl's mother thinks otherwise and is protective of her daughter. Despite this, they continue to be together and spend time alone. They question if they are getting away with their secret or if their families will eventually find out. The song suggests that they are not the first couple to play games like this and they may face consequences for their actions. The overall message is that young love can be tricky, and sometimes the games we play can have serious consequences.
