The 5th Dimension - Respect - Live

Going Through the Motions

We've got no right to do the things we do
But it goes on and no
Say we gonna break up
But we're both so insecure
That we keep hanging on
Can't you see what it's done to us?
Can't you see it's all wrong?

We just goin' through the motions feeling
None of the emotions
We just goin' through the motions
We in love
We just goin' through the motions feeling
None of the emotions
We just goin' through the motions baby
We in love

And I feel it's time to quit
Yes I feel it's time we stopped faking it

It seems we hurt each other more everyday
And you know as well as I the thrill is gone
Every time it happens, we end up with less to say
'Till there's just no words to absorb
Can't you see what it's done to us?
Can't you see it's all wrong

We just goin' through the motions feeling
None of the emotions
We just goin' through the motions
We in love
We just goin' through the motions feeling
None of the emotions
We just goin' through the motions baby
We in love

And I think it's time (time to quit)
Yes I think it's time we stopped faking it

We just goin' through the motions feeling
None of the emotions
We just goin' through the motions
We in love
We just goin' through the motions feeling
None of the emotions
We just goin' through the motions feeling
We in love
