Goin Through The Motions
(p. glass/s. birch/s. ray)
Play the game
Everything stays the same
A masquerade
Only ourselves to blame...
Love, taken for granted fades each passing day
We need more affection...
I, dont want to let you slip away...
Weve been goin through the motions
(but) theres more to life...oh ooh oh ooh oh
Than goin through the motions,
(our) loves on the line...oh ooh oh ooh oh...
You and i
Shouldnt lose our direction,
We cant deny
Love could use more attention...
Weve traveled too far to let the feeling fade
This time we can change it...cause
Dreams and passion are just a breath away...

Goin Thru The Motions
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Actions have been justified
All is compromised
Looking for approval there
In someone elses eyes, oh
Dodging all you really are
Becomes your greatest task
Acting out your lonely part
You hide behind your mask
Bridge:
Never true to yourself
Knowing well this is not like you
Fooling yourself
Youre just living a lie
Chorus:
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Victim of the circumstance
Prisoner of the shame
But its the double standard life
That keeps you in the game
Taken by your own disguise
But when its wearing thin
Youll do anything it takes
To impress your friends
Bridge:
Never true to yourself
This is not what you want to be
Fooling yourself
Youre just living lie

Goin Through The Motions
(ian hunter and eric bloom)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
Chant:
In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
Were going through it
V nothing to it
V all youve got to do is do it
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
I go you go you go me go
Everywhere that we go well be
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
1,2
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
I dont really care
Cause youre going nowhere
Youve got nothing but fear in your eyes
Youre leading me on
But you can be anyone
Cause I know youll be gone when I rise
And were going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Staying with you
Gave us something to do
I always thought it was true for a while
Your loving your lies
Youre so thinly disguised
You couldnt tell right from wrong if you tried
And were going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
To thee Ill dedicate this photograph
Ill even sign it love to you, again
And when its faded and forgotten in some book
Youll sometimes look
Youll sometimes look
Youll sometimes look
Instrumental
Its a game its a game
No lets call it a shame
Cause theres no one to blame
Its a pain
You were a friend for a day
So dont cry if I say
That you got what you want, its ok
Going through the motions
Going through the motions

Blaze Of Love
We are running out of time
Weve got one foot on the rock, and one foot over the line
This love, this loves not turning back
Well I dont know about you, but me Im following that
Late at night, watching you sleep, and I know inside, Im over the edge
Chorus:
Im goin down, down, down, in a blaze of love, in a blaze of love
Im goin down, down, down, in a blaze of love, in a blaze of love
Oh you, you can run away
You can shatter my world, scatter my dreams all over the place
But i, Ive grown to love these chains
You can tear em apart but I dont wanna escape
I close my eyes, picture your smile and I know inside, Im over the edge
Im goin down, down, down, in a blaze of love, in a blaze of love
Im goin down, down, down, in a blaze of love, blaze of love
Blaze of love
Blaze of love
(guitar solo)
Oh, Im over the edge...in a blaze of love
(down, down, down, blaze of love) blaze of love

Im goin down, down, down, down, down, down
In a blaze of love (blaze of love)
Down, down, down, in a blaze of love...

Going Through The Motions
Standing in line
At the usual time
With a dollar and a dime
Are you going through the motions?
Do you wear the latest style?
Can you guarantee a smile?
Won't you stop and talk awhile?
Are you going through the motions
(Chorus)
And is your day just a reflection of the day before?
Don't you ever stop and wonder if there's something more?
Do you really mean to tell me that you're satisfied?
Are you for real or are you going through the motions?
Heresay, theresay
Everything is fine
Are you running out of time?
Going through the motions
Some things never change
Easy chair, nine to five
Get ahead, stay alive
Are you going through the motions
(Chorus)
Stop and take a look around you
Don't say it isn't there
People going through the motions
Everywhere
I know it isn't easy
It gets tougher every day
But we keep going through the motions
Anyway
Going through the motions

This Is Emotion
This is
This is emotion calling
Inside
You dont know me
One game
A miracle of invention
You lose
These rules are mine
Dirty pictures
Youre in the movies
Move in
Move out
Im in slow motion
One love
One tear
One night
Of fear
One game
You lose
This is
Emotion
Look left
Theres nothing over there but vengeance
Look right
Theres nothing over there but greed
Look up
Theres nothing up there but rumours
Look down
Theres nothing down there but me
One love
I dont want to talk about it
One love
One pain
I dont want to talk about it
One pain
One more
Another night to remember
One more
Another name to forget
One more
Another young heart to play with
One more
Another young heart to break
Weve got to get out
We must get out of here
Weve got to get out
Weve got to get away
Im listening to stories
Of love and affection
That I dont believe
Im listening to liars
With pretty young faces
And eyes that deceive

Nowhere Fast
Its getting cold, its getting dark, the nights are longer every day
The air is heavy and the clouds will never burn away
And weve been waitin here so long that weve forgotten what its like
To turn into the fire, lookin straight into the, straight into the light
Bridge:
Your heart is tryin to rock but it can barely beat at all
Your soul is tryin to run but all your body does is crawl
You dont need any signal, you dont need any sign
Nothins gonna stop you once you cross over the line
I wanna tear it all apart and take the clothes right off your back
Were tearin down the highway and were breakin away, breakin away
Breakin away, were breakin away from the pack
Were breakin away from the pack
And if you dont have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and youre ready to roll
And even if you dont have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and youre ready to roll
And your speed is all youll ever need, all youll ever need to know
Chorus:
You and me were goin nowhere slowly and we gotta get away from the past
Theres nothin wrong with goin nowhere baby
But we should be goin nowhere fast
Everybodys goin nowhere slowly
Theyre only fighting for the chance to be last
Theres nothin wrong with goin nowhere baby
But we should be goin nowhere fast
Its so much better goin nowhere fast
You shouldnt always see your world so clearly
You shouldnt always know your place so well
And all were doin here is hangin around
And goin anywhere has gotta be heaven, cos stayin here is gonna be hell
And goin anywhere has gotta be heaven, cos stayin here has gotta be hell
Im getting lost, Im getting found, Im getting born again each day
Were dyin on the vine until we finally, til we finally get away
The boundaries of this town are closin in just like a noose
The futures gonna rust if we dont put it to some, put it to some use

Don't Blame Me
Everybody knows all the highs and all the lows
And in that nothing ever goes right
It's not up to me if you look but you don't see
What could obviously be alright
Like goin' nowhere
Like goin' nowhere baby
Nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
Nowhere you can hide
So don't blame me
There's no guarantee, what you get is what you see
Don't try to find it, just don't try
Don't try living in the past if you want your dreams to last
Don't hide behind the mask of lies
Like goin' nowhere
Like goin' nowhere baby
Nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
So don't blame me
Don't blame me
Don't blame me
Don't blame me
Deep inside of me lives a hunger to be free
I know I'll have to pay the price
I may never know when it comes or when it goes
I guess it's just a part of life

Once More With Feeling
Were just goin through the motions
Of the parts weve learned to play
Never quite together like before
But somehow darlin something good
Got lost along the way
And our song aint nothing
Special anymore
Lets try it one more time
With feeling darlin, take it from the top
Let me feel those tears a fallin babe
I dont want to miss a single drop
Darlin make believe your makin
Me believe each word you say
Try it once more with feeling
And well call it a day
Ah youre reachin out to touch me
Darlin just the way you used to do
An youre lookin everywhere but
In my eyes
Well thats an oldy but its a goody babe
But them words aint ringin true
And you dont seem very sure of your life
So try it one more time with feeling
Darlin take it from the top
This one is the big one baby so give
It everything you got
Darlin make believe your makin me
Believe each word you say
Lets try it once more with feeling
And well call it a day

When the world is on your shoulders
Just too much to bear
Boy my love can make you stronger
I aint goin nowhere
When youre followin all the rules
But life will not play fair
Come to me and well roll with the punches
I aint goin no where
By your side, by your side day and night

Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
Just for you always

I cant guarantee that your dreams
Wont fade into thin air
But as sure as Im livin breathin

By your side, by your side day and night

Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
Just for you always
I aint goin nowhere
I aint goin nowhere
But straight to you
No one else would do
My love will shine right through your rain
I will left you up, I will lift you up
By your side, by your side day and night
I will be always
Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
Just for you always

Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell
Id have to be a mindreader, baby, just to know whats goin on
You dont need no crystal ball, sugar, cant you see my love is strong
Dont you know my temperature is startin to rise up
And its draggin me under your spell
Chorus:
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
Im about to go insane, Im so hungry, Im so hungry
You dont have to see no furtune teller, to see I just cant take no more
You been such a heartbreaker, baby, you keep a lock on heavens door
Aint you tired of goin through the motions
And standin in the shadow of love
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I cant hurt you, I cant hurt you
Dont need your lovin, dont want nothin
Dont need your sympathy, dont need a friend
I just need somethin I can believe in, I can believe in
Aint you tired of goin through the motions
And hidin in the shadow of love
Im somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want me, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
Im about to go insane, Im so hungry
Somewhere between love and hate
Dont know just what Im feelin, babe I think its gettin late
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I cant hurt you...

Making life a little better
Takes the power of your second please

A Game We Shouldnt Play
(m&l - deris)
Do you believe in fate or chances
Design or coincidences
Would you say that all the people
Live their life for good and evil
Some have reached the end of patience
Start to play with gods creation
They know you
Control you
In a game we shouldnt play
Corrupt your heart
And make you part
Of a game we shouldnt play
We run blind
In a game we shouldnt play
Its all a game we shouldnt play
If we shall die now it will happen
If were good well come to heaven
If we shall live it will be so
End your life and youll see limbo
All is fixed and predetermined
Only time will stretch new sins
He loves you
Alarms you
Of a game we shouldnt play
He tells your heart
To stay apart
From a game we shouldnt play
We run blind
In a game we shouldnt play
Its that kind of game we shouldnt play
Manipulations on the genes
Nuclear contaminated seeds
Clone of the clone in the breeders zone
Its a game
A game we shouldnt play
We run blind
In a game we shouldnt play
Its that kind of game we shouldnt play

Everything I Need
Weve been through so much
Weve stayed in close touch
Seems like weve always been together
Weve sung the same song
Unchanged for so long
Guess well be singing it forever
Chorus:
When love begins so easily
It feels like it was meant to be
Youre the special lover heaven chose me
And after all is said and done
Weve had ou fights, weve had our fun
And your the only one who really knows me
And everything I need I find in you
Time keeps on going
Love keeps on growing
And all the changes that we go through
Are so revealing, they leave me feeling
Im just so happy that I know you...
(chorus)
Everyone I ever knew
Is looking for a someone who
Can fit into the spaces in their dreams
Dont know where were heading to
But here is me and there is you
For so it seems...
Whatever happens
Well make it happen
Dont have to worry about tomorrow
We have each other
And well discover
Life has its happiness and sorrow...
But well continue come what may
Love grows stronger day by day
As we discover so much more about it
It feels so right it feels so good
It feels the way a true love should
I cant imagine living life without it
cause everything I need I find in you...
Love keeps on growing...

Show Some Respect
(t. britten, s. shifrin)
Producer: terry britten
Album: private dancer (84)
I made a resolution and I plan to keep my work
But I need you to make it work
Youve got to read the message, understand whats on my mind
Cause not to see would be a crime
And we could lose it anytime
Weve got to show some respect
Weve got to learn to protect
Dont take it for granted, I know
That if you want to stay close
Weve got to show some respect
But I believe in working, then I believe in a little help
Cause Im not a light unto myself
Without a thing of value, why settle for second best
We dont know whats up ahead
And we cant let ourselves forget
Weve got to show some respect
Weve got to learn to protect
Dont take it for granted, I know
That if you want to stay close
Weve got to show some respect
For the things that I love about you
From the woman that you see inside
Dont let it walk out the door
Love follows everytime

Been Here Once Before
Got your back up against the wall
Now you know that after all
When you make mistakes like that
Theres no more turning back
Now weve gone and weve lost our heads
Youre better off just playing dead
Why you wearing that black hat
Theres no point in turning back
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before
Well all you know is you need to win
Should you go when your call comes in
Once you see all the blood that flows
I dont think youll be winning more
Now I thought that was all in the past
And that beast would come back last
Once again we are at war
Yes I know weve been here before
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before...thats for sure
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before
And I dont think youll be winning more
Weve been here once before

And I dont think youll be winning more
