Goin’ Through the MotionsBonnie Tyler

Released: April 8, 1983

Songwriter: Eric Bloom Ian Hunter

Producer: John Jansen Jim Steinman

CHANT:
In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We're going through it
Nothing to it
All you've 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 we'll be
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
1,2

Going through the motions
Going through the motions

I don't really care
Cause you're going nowhere
You've got nothing but fear in your eyes
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
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
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
Going through the motions
Going through the motions

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
You'll sometimes look
You'll sometimes look

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 OK

Going through the motions
Going through the motions

Repeat chant

Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
