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 a little 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 a little letter to me. But if you change your mind you can send a little letter to me. But if you change your mind you can send a little letter to me. | |(addE) / (addE) | | -- Roy M.

La chanson aborde la superficialité des relations modernes, où les gestes et les mots semblent vides de sens. Elle met en lumière une certaine désillusion face à ceux qui prétendent agir avec sincérité tout en ne faisant qu'effleurer les sentiments véritables. Au milieu de ce cynisme, elle évoque le désir de connexion plus authentique, suggérant qu’un simple message pourrait raviver des émotions enfouies. Le contexte pourrait se situer dans une époque où les interactions humaines sont souvent filtrées par des façades, accentuant la difficulté de vraiment se comprendre et se rapprocher les uns des autres. L’artiste nous rappelle que derrière les manières et les apparences, il y a une quête de vérité et de profondeur.
