The Last Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Ooooooh.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Ooooooh.
I have no guts. I have no pride.
My heart is weak. My love is blind.
When your game is up I'll still be by your side.
If you love me at all, let this be the last time
that you break my heart,
that you break my heart,
that you break my heart.
You hurt me so much,
but I love you forever
'cause when you tear me up
you always put me back together
ever so gently,
ever so gently.
Baby, let this be the last time, yeah.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Oooooh.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Oooooh.
I bite my lip and hold my head up high.
I try my best not to let you see me cry.
I can take a joke and you can be unkind.
If you love me at all, let this be the last time
that you break my heart,
that you break my heart,
that you break my heart.
You hurt me so much,
but I love you forever
'cause when you tear me up
you always put me back together
ever so gently,
ever so gently.
Baby, let this be the last time, yeah.
Mmm, you hurt me so much,
but I love you forever
'cause when you tear me up
you always put me back together
ever so gently,
ever so gently.
Baby, let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Oooooh.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Oooooh.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, whoa.
Ohhhhh, whoa.
That you hurt me at all, yeah.
The last time. Whoa.
Whoaoooo.
Whoa. The last time.
Oooh, yeah, the last time.
Oooooh, yeah, the last time.
That you hurt me at all.
Yeah, the last time. Whoa . . .
