Lyrics
For so long now, babe, I've been hurt
In every single love affair
Well it's not gonna happen, no not anymore
And tonight you're gonna find out how much I really care
chorus
- I'm goin' through the motions
- I like to try to look like I'm feelin' free
- Nobody's in my way now
- They're just everywhere that I want to be
- I'm goin' through the motions
- Practicing my moves and looking so good
- Going through the motions
- Don't let me be misunderstood
I'm not expecting smoke and miracles
I don't want Mr. Right
I just need to make very sure that it's
Absolutely positively over in one night
chorus
- I'm goin' through the motions
- I want to really really seem sincere
- We're gettin' pretty close now
- Just you and me and everyone here
- I'm goin' through the motions
- Moving 'cross the dance floor like I should
- Going through the motions
- Are my feelings understood
Notes
I had in mind a female vocal for this one -- Tina Turner could do it, or maybe someone a little less gritty-sounding so you're caught more off-guard by the cynical message...
