We'Re Not Making Love Anymore
Michael Bolton · Other Songs - Michael Bolton
You look into my eyes, but you don't see me
Here I am, feelin' 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
CHORUS
'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 your and mine
But that was another place in time
Now all we have to show
Are memories of a dream we used to know
CHORUS
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....
CHORUS
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
