[Verse 1]
There's sometimes love and lust go hand in hand
With a generous woman and a handsome man
She opens her heart, he steps right in
And that's where the trouble begins
[Chorus]
Goin' through the motions
There's a dark cloud up above
I don't know how you can hold me
When you're not really in love
[Post-Chorus]
Goin' through the motions
Breakin' my heart
Goin' through the motions
Tearin' me apart
[Verse 2]
And one on one is hard for a man like you
You've got the eyes of a saint and one hell of an attitude, yeah
Touch and go, you think it's okay
To see me and then walk away
[Chorus]
Goin' through the motions
There's a dark cloud up above
I don't know how you can hold me
When you're not really in love
[Post-Chorus]
Goin' through the motions
Breakin' my heart
Goin' through the motions
Tearin' me apart
[Bridge]
No promises made when lonely hearts bleed
But do you really get all you need?
[Chorus]
Goin' through the motions
There's a dark cloud up above
I don't know how you can hold me
When you're not really in love
[Post-Chorus]
Goin' through the motions
Breakin' my heart
Goin' through the motions
Tearin' me apart
Goin' through the motions
Breakin' my heart
Goin' through the motions
Tearin' me apart
[Outro]
Goin' through the motions
You're breakin' my heart
