The Newness Is Gone
Once your lovely body it was so under-touched
Now it's cold cold and we don't hold each other so much
You tell me that its my fault
But I say it's yours
All I know
What once was there
Isn't there anymore

The newness is gone
The newness is gone
So why should we carry on
With a love that is gone
The newness is gone
The newness is gone
So why should we make pretend
When our love affair is destined to end

Sleeping close together yet we're so far apart
(?)
Knowing right from the start
Girl I wish you well
Please do the same thing for me
Release the ties that bind us
And set each other free

The newness is gone
The newness is gone
So why should we carry on
With a love that is gone
The newness is gone
The newness is gone
So why should we make pretend
When our love affair is destined to end
Oh
Ooohhh
End
Oooh ooohh

The newness is gone
The newness is gone
So why should we carry on
With a love that is gone
The newness is gone
The newness is gone
So why should we make pretend
When our love affair is destined to end
