Here we are, just going through the motions one more time You look into my eyes but you don't see me And here I am, feeling like a stranger in your arms I touch you, I hold you but lately I don't know you Something is wrong but we go on from day to day And we just pretend it all away We act like nothing's changed But in our hearts we know, it's not the same, oh, no 'Cause we're not makin' love anymore Baby, we're not makin' love like before We may hold each other tight Say that everything's alright But we're not makin' love Remember when you couldn't wait to run into my arms When the love inside my heart was all you needed Remember when you made me wish the night would never end The fire, the thunder, we lived to love each other If ever two hearts were one, then it was yours and mine But that was another place in time Now all we have to show Are memories of a dream we used to know 'Cause we're not makin' love anymore Baby, we're not makin' love like before We may hold each other tight Say that everything's alright But we're not makin' love When did we lose our way? We had it all Don't know how it all just slipped away But oh, can we get it back again? Is it too late? Can we try just one time? 'Cause darling, we're not makin' love anymore Baby, we're not makin' love like before We may hold each other tight Say that everything's alright We're not makin' love anymore Baby, we're not makin' love like before Can we find a way to try? Find the magic one more time 'Cause we're not makin' love
