Going Through The Motions

(album: I'll Need Someone To Hold Me When I Cry - 1980)

Used to be, not long ago
I could feel my body start to tingle
Each time you call my name

And all along, you put me down
You told me lies
And played around so many times
But now, when you touch me
The feelin's just not the same

And I'm just going through the motions
Of loving you (loving you)
Going through the motions
Of being true

What used to be a thrill for me
Is now so hard to do
And I'm just going through the motions
Love, loving you

I think of all those endless nights
I could feel your loving arms around me
Before the thrill was gone

And then the tears begin to flow
You're not the man I used to know
And here I am
In search of an answer
To what's the use to hanging on

And I'm just going through the motions
Of loving you (loving you)
Going through the motions
Of being true

What used to be a thrill for me
Is now so hard to do
And I'm just going through the motions
Love, loving you

I'm just going through the motions
Love, loving you
