The Newness Is Gone - Eddie Kendricks

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
