Lyrics for Lip Service
You left the motor running But I know you're 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 you'll ever get from me Lip service is all you'll ever get from me Lip service is all you'll ever get from me But if you change your mind, you can send it in a letter to me Don't make any sudden movements These are dangerous amusements When did you become so choosy? Don't act like you're above me Just look at your shoes 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 you'll ever get from me Lip service is all you'll ever get from me Lip service is all you'll ever get from me But if you change your mind, you can send it in a letter to me But if you change your mind, you can send it in a letter to me But if you change your mind, you can send a little letter to me
