Lyric

(Verse 1)

You said / you had to have it, baby —

That pink bear / from the claw machine

I spent all night / just to win it for ya

Come and see me / in your dream

Why you keep on / hangin’ up, girl?

I’m waitin’ / where we always meet

Slip away, / don’t make me lonely —

Meet me / on that neon street!

Making Love, / Making Love, / when will you wake up?

Get a job, / break a sweat, / then maybe we can meet up

Making Love, / Making Love, / yeah, I’m dreamin’ of us —

Can’t you see / I’m tryin’? / Baby, that’s enough

---

(Verse 2)

Took out / my piercings, / cut my hair short

Dyed it black / just to look more grown

First shift / at the store, / I overslept —

Still jokin’ ‘round, / the line was blown

Tuckin’ in / my shirt, / tryin’ not to laugh

And suddenly / her father’s here

He says, / “Sit down boy, / have a drink,”

And the air / gets crystal clear

Making Love, / Making Love, / said it with a grin

“Don’t pretend / you can’t — / go on, take it in.”

Making Love, / Making Love, / life’s a bitter brew

Lost my job / last month — / what about you?

---

(Verse 3)

Long hard days / on the factory floor

Tryin’ to smile / through the pain I store

Finally done, / new faces around

Then office games / start draggin’ me down

Someone smirks / and someone lies

Still I fake / a calm disguise

Gotta slip, / gotta slide, / stay alive

Keep it smooth / just to survive

Then I see / her mama walkin’ in —

“Oh that teddy’s cute, / you’ve been tryin’, dear

You’re doin’ fine, / I can see that now

But don’t you rush / to bring new life here.”

Making Love, / Making Love, / echoes in my head

Things we never say, / things we never said

Making Love, / Making Love, / softly fades away

And I smile, / though I’ve lost my way
