  • This may be the last time
    Last time I put on my shoes, mmh
    Go down to the corner
    And buy the damn cat the expensive food

    That Turkish Angora's 'bout the only thing left of me and you, mmh
    Early this morning, it started making sounds that say
    "Don't the last time come too soon?
    One down, eight to go, but it's no less true
    Don't the last time come too soon?"

    Mmh-hmm-mmm
    Mmh-hmm-mmm
    Mmh-hmm

    This may be the last time
    Last time I get out of bed, mhm
    Put coffee on and try, in your words
    "To show some initiative"

    We used to lay around here laughing
    At what these freaks out there were trying to prove, mhm
    But what's wasting time if not throwing it away on work
    When the last time comes so soon?
    Mr. Blue died in my arms, nothing they could do
    Don't the last time come too soon?

    Love's always gonna leave ya
    No matter what they say
    You only know what it is once it's gone away

    This may be the last time
    The last time I lay here with you, mmh
    Do you swear it's not the cat?
    You don't have to answer that
    I'll just make do

    But maybe if he'd gone sooner
    Could've brought us back together last June, mmh
    When the last time was our last time
    If only then I knew
    The last time was our last time
    Would've told you that the last time comes too soon

    When the last time was our last time
    Should've told you that the last time comes too soon

    Oh
