You left the motor running.
E                 C#m          B
But I know you're so attractive.
E              C#m             B
Getting in some sharp practice.
E                 C#m               B
You better not do anything reckless.
 
A                 B
But everybody is going through the motions.

A                    B
Are you really only going through the motions?
 
 
     E         C#m              B
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.

Elvis Costello Cheap Reward
Lyrics: Oh well I feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces So be prepared to sweep me out the door And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases So I think I'll get accuainted with the floor Oh I was tryin' a get away from the things that I always do Hello floorboards once again, how are you? Chorus: Lip service, that's all you ever get from me Well how could you believe I'd take you seriously With your cheap rewards, your blackmail and your comical rage You just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage All the sign posts on this road they point one way Don't act like your above me just look at your shoes I'll turn the light out now 'cause ther's nothin' more to say And it's all been lost before, so there's nothin' to lose Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly I would'a done the same for you, oh but you said to me -chorus- Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
