Bonnie Tyler - Going Through The Motions Lyrics
[Chorus:]
In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We're going through it
Nothing to it
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
I go you go you go me go
Everywhere that we go we'll be
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
1,2
Going through the motions [2x]
I don't really care
Cause you're going nowhere
You're leading me on
But you can be anyone
Cause I know you'll be gone when I rise
And we're going through the motions
Going through the motions [3x]
Staying with you
Gave us something to do
I always thought it was true for a while
Your loving your lies
You're so thinly disguised
You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried
And we're going through the motions
Going through the motions [3x]
To thee I'll dedicate this photograph
I'll even sign it love to you, again
And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
You'll sometimes look [3x]
It's a game it's a game
No let's call it a shame
Cause there's no one to blame
It's a pain
You were a friend for a day
So don't cry if I say
That you got what you want, it's Okay
Going through the motions [2x]
[Chorus]

Bonnie Tyler Going Through The Motions Comments
I have seen comments about the so called original cover. This is the original album cover, I know because my parents owned it at the time and they bought it when it was released.
A great Bonnie Tyler track, I've liked Bonnie since I first heard"It's a Heartache"....
It is a cover.
Dude wtf, I Just found out about this cover! I love both BOC and Bonnie Tyler!
GONNNNNNNNNNG !!
I really love this music! ❤
Its like I had lived int that era years 60,70,80 n 90
I like the original album cover without the light saber through her head
Was it the case that Ian Hunter/Mott the Hoople also released this as a single? I know Hunter co-wrote it with Eric Bloom of BOC.
No. This song was co-written with Ian Hunter for BOC.
There are only two versions: this one and BOC's
Love love love this song :)
such a naughty song XD
why is it naughty?
A cover of a "Blue Oyster Cult" song. I always thought the band missed a hit by not releasing as a single themselves. I don't think they'd look too favorably on this version..
I almost broke off a friendship over this in High School (later, I got tired of her vacuous lack of caring and realized she was just a user and broke it off for real in college.) She totally argued this was better than BOC and was the first version. She was wrong, on both accounts.
I like this lady's voice, but the opening is just terrible. Couldn't she have just sung the damn song? She just made it so...she took the anger out of it...
OH NO! Maybe she's actually a genius and is truly emulating the song by just "going through the motions!"Maybe it is the better song, or an act of art. Or, maybe it's just a half assed pop remake. Too bad, cause I like some of Bonnie Tyler's stuff.
