About
Going Through the Motions is a satirical disco song. I don't consider this to be a finished recording.

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...
