Lately you've been talkin' in your sleep
And you never used to before
I know you've been talkin' in your sleep
'Cause lately I ain't been sleepin' at all

Let's be honest with each other
If just these words to say
We ain't makin' it
We ain't makin' it

I know what we've both been waitin' for
But the wrong just ain't gettin' right
And we don't even talk much anymore
And when we do, it only leads to a fight

And we hardly touch each other
And even when we try
We ain't makin' it
We just ain't makin' it

Let's be honest with еach other
If just these words to say
Wе ain't makin' it
We just ain't makin' it
Girl, we ain't makin' it
We ain't makin' it, no way
