Goin’ Through the Motions Songtext
von Bonnie Tyler

In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We′re goin' through it, nothing to it
All you′ve got to do is do it
Goin' through the motions, 1, 2, 3, 4
I go, you go, you go, we go
Everywhere that we go, we'll be
Goin′ through the motions, 1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2

Goin′ through the motions
Yeah, we're goin′ through the motions

I don't really care, ′cause you're goin′ nowhere
You've got nothing but fear in your eyes
You're leading me on, but you can be anyone
′Cause I know you′ll be gone when I rise

And we're goin′ through the motions
And we're goin′ through the motions
Yeah, we're goin′ through the motions
Goin' through the motions


Staying with you gave us something to do
I almost thought it was true for a while
Your loving, your lies, you're so thinly disguised
You couldn′t tell right from wrong if you tried

And we′re goin' through the motions, yeah
We′re goin' through the motions
We′re just goin' through the motions
Goin′ through the motions

To thee I'll 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, it's a pain
You were a friend for a day, so don′t cry if I say
That you got what you want, it′s okay

And we're goin′ through the motions
Yeah, we're goin′ through the motions
Yeah, we're goin′ through the motions
We're just goin' through the motions


And we′re goin′ through the motions
We're just goin′ through the motions
Yeah, we're goin′ through the motions
Goin' through the motions

In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We′re goin' through it, nothing to it
All you gotta do is do it

Goin' through the motions
Yeah, we′re goin′ through the motions

I go, you go, you go, we go
Everywhere that we go, we'll be
Goin′ through the motions, yeah, yeah
Goin' through the motions

(Goin′ through the motions)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We're goin′ through it, nothing to it
All you've gotta do is do it
Goin' through the motions, 1, 2, 3, 4
I go, you go, you go, we go
Everywhere that we go, we′ll be
Goin′ through the motions
