Lyrics
WE?RE NOT MAKIN? IT
WORDS & MUSIC: POWERS MCELHONE & JUDY HINGER
HOSKINS
Everything looks so good, so right
All of the signs are there
Looking ahead it looks so bright
That?s what?s so hard to bear
You?re my kind of lady?
I?m your kind of man, but
WE?RE NOT MAKIN? IT
Hard as we try
WE?RE NOT MAKIN? IT
Don?t know why
Love just seems to pass us by
What could we change that we don?t see?
What have we left undone?
You thought you were in love with me
I thought you were the one
You?re my kind of lady
I?m your kind of man, but
WE?RE NOT MAKIN? IT
Hard as we try
WE?RE NOT MAKIN? IT
Don?t know why
Love just seems to pass us by
Something is missing?we can?t define
It isn?t your fault, Baby?it isn?t mine
You fit in my arms like you belong
We read each other?s minds
We dance like our bodies wrote the song
It should be the best of times
You?re my kind of lady?
I?m your kind of man, but
WE?RE NOT MAKIN? IT
Hard as we try
WE?RE NOT MAKIN? IT
You and I
Love just seems to pass us by
[TURNAROUND]
?Hard as we try
WE?RE NOT MAKIN? IT
Don?t know why
Love just seems to pass us by
