The Newness Is Gone

Eddie Kendricks


Once your lovely body it was so warm to touch not its cold and we don't hold each other so much you told me it's 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's gone? The newness is gone, the newness gone, so why should we make pretend when our love affair is destined to end

Sleeping close together yet were so far apart kidding one another knowing right from the start girl I wish you well please do the same thing for me release the ties that bide us lets set each other free

The newness is gone, the newness is gone, so why should we carry on with a love that's gone? The newness is gone, the newness gone, so why should we make pretend when our love affair is destined to end

[Instrumental Break]

The newness is gone, the newness is gone, so why should we carry on with a love that's gone? The newness is gone, the newness gone, so why should we make pretend when our love affair is destined to end
