That's what you said From your forced smiles To the moanin' in our bed You said the fire was gone Your looking for something special And I wasn't the special one Going thru the motions And your acting was superb You were never out of character Watchin' every word Going thru the motions You finally admit From the tongue-in-cheek kisses To the end, the limit You said you were not at fault You were just being kind And I was just being blind Going thru the motions And your acting was superb You were never out of character Watchin' every word Going thru the motions Your performance was devine Academy award emotions Feeding me every line As the lights faded The curtain came down You were some kind of hero In your mind ... leaving town And I was some kind of fool Who just kept hanging round But fools can learn what is true And this fool's realized ... I was Going thru the motions And my acting was superb I was never out of character Watchin' every word Going thru the motions My performance was devine Academy award emotions Livin' out every line Going thru the motions We just never knew We had our suspicions Now we know its true We were both being kind In the fool's masquerade We were blind and both betrayed We were blind And both betrayed By going thru the motions We lived our lies And played the game And tripped on our emotions ... We were Going thru the motions And our acting was superb We were never out of character Watchin' every word Going thru the motions Our performance was devine Academy award emotions Living out every line Going thru the motions And our acting was superb We were never out of character Watchin' every word Going thru the motions Our performance was devine Academy award emotions Living out every line © 1992 N.
