The Last Time Lyrics

Well the first time that I saw you
You were standing in the rain
You were waiting at the station
For the last connecting train
Well - who will you go to
When there's no-one to betray?
And I said - who will you go to
When your best friend turns away?
Hey hey...

Last time you're gonna let me down
Last time you're gonna
Fool around with me...

There's a garden full of roses
There's a necklace full of pearls
You have come to take the roses
To give to other girls
Well - I am just a pretty thing
You wanted for a day
There is nothing left between us
There is nothing left to say...
Hey hey...

People like you
Can be so mean
People like you
Just don't come clean
Last time you're gonna let me down
Last time you're gonna
Fool around with me...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
