Goin' Through the Motions
Too wild to care, you got animal stare
You can't stay anywhere in your eyes
Think you're leadin' me on but you can be anyone
'Cause I know you'll be gone 'fore I rise
An' we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Goin' through the motions
Stayin' with you gave us somethin' to do
I almost thought it was true for a while
'Cause there's love in your lies, you're so thinly disguised
You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried
An' we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Goin' through the motions
To thee I dedicate this photograph
I'll even sign it 'Love to you' again
And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
You'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look
It's a game, it's a game, no let's call it a shame
'Cause there's no one to blame just to pay
You were a friend for a day, so don't cry if I say
That you got what you want, it's okay
An' we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Goin' through the motions
Yeah, yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Goin' through the motions
Hey hey, yeah, yeah
We're goin', yeah, yeah, yeah, we're goin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, we're goin'
You can't stay anywhere in your eyes
Think you're leadin' me on but you can be anyone
'Cause I know you'll be gone 'fore I rise
An' we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Goin' through the motions
Stayin' with you gave us somethin' to do
I almost thought it was true for a while
'Cause there's love in your lies, you're so thinly disguised
You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried
An' we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Goin' through the motions
To thee I dedicate this photograph
I'll even sign it 'Love to you' again
And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
You'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look
It's a game, it's a game, no let's call it a shame
'Cause there's no one to blame just to pay
You were a friend for a day, so don't cry if I say
That you got what you want, it's okay
An' we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Goin' through the motions
Yeah, yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Yeah, we're goin' through the motions
Goin' through the motions
Hey hey, yeah, yeah
We're goin', yeah, yeah, yeah, we're goin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, we're goin'
