We're Not Makin' Love Anymore Lyrics
Barbra Streisand
Lyrics
Here we are,
Just going through the motions one more time,
You looked in my eyes but you don't see me,
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...
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 all right,
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...
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 all right,
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...
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 all right,
But we're not makin' love...
Song & Lyrics Facts
Barbra Streisand's song "We're Not Makin' Love Anymore" is a classic from her 1980 album, Guilty. The track was written by Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees - two of the most prolific songwriters in music history.
On this particular recording, Barbra was accompanied by an all-star band including Jeff Porcaro on drums, David Hungate on bass, Larry Carlton on guitar, and Richard Tee on piano and organ. The lyrics are powerful yet heartbreaking as they tell the story of a couple who have sadly reached the end of their relationship. As with many of Barbra's songs, the emotion behind the words is palpable and makes for a truly memorable listening experience.
