Lip Service
You left the motor running.
But I know youre so attractive.
Getting in some sharp practice.
You better not do anything reckless.
But everybody is going through the motions.
Everybody is going through the motions.
Are you really only going through the motions?
Lip service is all youll ever get from me.
Lip service is all youll ever get from me.
Lip service is all youll ever get from me.
But if you change your mind
You can send it a letter to me
Dont make any sudden movements.
These are dangerous amusements.
When did you become so choosy?
Dont act like youre above me;
Just look at your shoes.
[repeat bridge and chorus]
But if you change your mind
You can send it a letter to me
But if you change your mind
You can send it a letter to me
But if you change your mind
You can send a little letter to me

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
Repeat chant

Complicated
Youre never going to see what you like
Youre never going to wake up and change your mind
Youre never going to keep what you hold
You wont accomplish anything on your own
You cant have what you wanted
So make up your mind and come to your senses
Youll never win if you dont bend
Its not so complicated
If you decide to change your mind
Youll find your inundated
Youre never going to do what you say
Youll always try to make up another way
Youre never going to act on your own
Youre never going to see that youre all alone
And so youre here and you dont know
If you can choose the way to go
Its not about the way it is
So dont become a realist
Youve got time to make a choice
Dont think aloud but have a voice
And when you think the time is right
Dont ever be afraid to fight

Send It To Me
(allee willis / lauren wood)
Somebody got a magic touch
Somebody just cant get enough
Your pictures hanging in my car
I love you for just who you are
And dont you know I want you? , maybe
Baby
Get your motor running
Cant you hear me coming?
And send it to me
Put it in a letter
If thatll make it better
And send it to me, haa
Stick it in a bottle
Its always getting hotter
And send it to me, haa
Nothing gonna stop it
So shoot it like a rocket
And send it to me
I sit behind a desk all day
And dream of you to get away
I got no money in the bank
I dont need much, got you to thank
And dont you know I want you? , maybe
Baby
Oh, get your motor running
Cant you hear me coming?
And send it to me, ah
Put it in a letter
If thatll make it better
And send it to me, haa
Stick it in a bottle
Its always getting hotter
Send it to me, haa
Nothing gonna stop it
So shoot it like a rocket
And send it to me, ahh
Deep in the night, I turn around
And wish you were here with me
I grab the sheets and make up a fantasy
Cant you see
That youre the one that I love?
Get your motor running
Cant you hear me coming?
And send it to me, ooh, oh, oh
Stick it in a bottle
Aint nothing gonna stop it
So shoot it like a rocket
Baby, send it to me
Ahh, oh
Get your motor running
Cant you hear me coming?
And sent it to me, ah, ho

Rikki Dont Lose That Number
We hear youre leaving, thats ok
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart
Chorus:
Rikki dont lose that number
You dont wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki dont lose that number
Its the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
I have a friend in town, hes heard your name
We can go out driving on slow hand row
We could stay inside and play games, I dont know
And you could have a change of heart
Chorus
You tell yourself youre not my kind
But you dont even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart

Change Your Mind
When you get weak, and you need to test your will
When lifes complete, but theres something missing still
Distracting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Convincing you (change your mind)
When youre confused and the world has got you down
When you feel used and you just cant play the clown
Protecting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Protecting you (change your mind)
Restoring you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Soothing you (change your mind)
You hear the sound, you wait around and get the word
You see the picture changing everything youve heard
Destroying you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Destroying you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Confining you (change your mind)
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Distorting you (change your mind)
Controlling you (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
The morning comes and theres an odor in the room
The scent of love, more than a million roses bloom
Embracing you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Embracing you (change your mind)
Concealing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind

From Love To Love
Well if you want me then just take my hand
And if you dont, I will understand
Its just a call from deep within my soul
The burning question, I have got to know
Take a message from love to love
Take it down, from love to love
Girl its you Im thinking of
Ill send this letter from love to love
And if I ask you will you take this dance
Please dont think youre taking some big chance
Its just a fire and it burns for you
You know theres one thing that youve got to do
Take a message from love to love
Take it down, from love to love
Girl its you Im thinking of
Ill send this letter from love to love
Ill share your secrets on a rainy day

Oh theres a fire and it burns for you
You know theres one thing that youve got to do
Take a message from love to love
Take it down, from love to love

Maybe Tomorrow
I dont know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven is here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
Youre all I need to get by
No-one else can make me cry
The way you do baby
My beutiful bird you have flown away
I held you to tight I can see
Youre all I need to get by
No-one else can make me cry
The way you do baby

You are the book that Im reading babe
You are the song that I sing
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow youll change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow youll come back to my arms
Youre all I need to get by
No-one else can make me cry

Never Too Late
(thomas/ralphs)
Last night, you said you didnt know what you wanted
Baby thats all right, I can help you see this one through
I know you wont leave him, you think its all wrong
Why dont you open your eyes
Youre so unhappy but you keep hanging on, so trust me, baby and youll see
Chorus:
Its never too late to change your mind - get out and take what you need
Its never too late, so take your time - you (just) gotta believe
One day, youll look back and think you were crazy
Theres no way, thats how it gets you sometimes
Right now, you cant let him go, theres something inside you
I wont tell you, you should know, its so clear, baby, Im right here
Chorus:
Its never too late to change your mind - get out and take what you need
Its never too late, so take your time - you (just) gotta believe

One day, youll come running to me, its just a matter of time
Im right here where you know that Ill be, so trust me and youll see

Get it down, youll feel better, send it now, write away
Hey cinderella, did you need that other fella?
On the wrong side of midnight your defences slipped away
You need attention, so I think its worth a mention
That if I can deliver
Well there wouldnt be no heavy price to pay

Youll Get It In The Mail Today
Ive been up all night
Ive been writing this letter
And I think I might have found a better way
To tell you all the things Ive got to say
I put it in writing and youll get it in the mail today
Well I dont know but I cant help feeling
That you got to stop your double-dealin ways
Cheatin on me is a crime that never pays
And thats all in the letter and youll get it in the mail today
Well I would tell you to your face
But youd just lie to me
Put you in your place
But youd just try to defy me
Been up all night
Pencil and a paper
And I think I might have found a safer way
Say goodbye without much more delay
Well its all in the letter and youll get it in the mail today
I dont mean tomorrow
Its all in the letter and youll get it in the mail today
I dont mean no western union
Its all in the letter and youll get it in the mail today

All Night
Written by dewey bunnell, 1979
Found on silent letter and live in central park.
When the day breaks
Something begins
When your heart aches
Do you give in?
I heard that you were lonely
One careful look shows youre lonely
All night youll fight
With your mind, with your mind
After lights out, dont make a sound
Apple blossoms, come fallin down
Black and white sun shining brightly
Shelter your eyes, hold on tightly
All night youll fight
With your mind, with your mind
Love thy neighbor
You will understand
Coffee flavor, yours or any brand
I heard that you were lonely
Nothing is real when youre lonely
All night youll fight
With your mind, with your mind

Youll Find Me
Up and off to work again, going through the motions
I bet she tried to warn me and I didnt even notice
til I got home and found her gone
Left with just a letter
Folded with a key on top
Sitting on the dresser
I opened it
It simply read
Chorus
Look and you will find me
I wont be that far
Ill be right here waiting for you with open arms
I dont want to live without you
But I cant go on like this
Torn between the man I love and the one Im living with
Its a conflict of emotion
To my heart I must be true
I know that I need you
But you have to need me too
So if you get home and miss me in your life
Youll find me
I called her family asked everyone who knows her
Telling them in detail all the things I should have told her
How much she really means to me and how much Im regretting
But so far no ones heard from her and all that I am left with
Is how I let her go
And the letter she wrotesaying youll find me
Bridge
I spent the next eight hours wondering where on earth you were
It was getting late, I was getting tired and growing more concerned
When all at once it hit me, that piano bar back home
Where I asked you to marry me
And there you were alone
2nd chorus
I knew I would find you
And how it warmed my heart
To see you right there waiting for me with open arms
Said I dont know where Im going, but I cant go on like this
The thought of life without you is something I just cant live with
Its a conflict of emotion
To my heart I must be true
You told me that you need me
Well, girl I need you too
So if you come home and want me in your life
Youll find me
Youll find me
Youll find me

Ill Be Fine
Day and night I wonder how youre feeling
I wonder if youll ever change your mind
I dont know just what it is youre dealing
But I know youve got me in a bind
Day and night I wonder how you do it
Put me in this awful state of mind
How on earth can you be so unfeeling
How on earth can you be so unkind
Well Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
You never want to sit and talk it over
You always want to run right out the door
Come and sit right down here on the sofa
Tell me baby right now whats the score
Dont you tell me there aint nothing doing
There aint nothing else thats true to say
I just wanna hear my baby cooing
I dont wanna hear our love is dead
I will be fine with you if you be good to me
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
If youll be good to me, Ill be fine with you
If youll be good to me then we just cant lose
If youll be good to me, Ill be happy for all of my days

Picture Of My Life
I never had a dream that I could follow through
Only tears left to stain, dry my eyes once again
I dont know who I am, or what Im gonna do
Been so long Ive been hopelessly confused
This can never really end, its infinitely sad
Can someone tell me when
Something good became so bad
So if you have a cure
To me would you please send
A picture of my life
With a letter telling how
It should really be instead
The precipice is there
But will I ever dare
Throw myself in the sky, so at last I can die
See Ive become a man
Who holds nothing too dear
Who will mind if I just disappear
This can never really end, its infinitely sad
Can someone tell me when
Something good became so bad
So if you have a cure
To me would you please send
A picture of my life
With a letter telling how
It should really be instead
Oh, tell me how it really should be

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

Take me apart cause Im out of control
Send me a letter on a midnight scroll

Dance by the window in flamingo pink
Go through the motions in your romeo mink

How can I hold you whne youre waving goodbye
