"For The Last Time" lyrics - MELISSA ETHERIDGE

[Intro:]
I'ma turn it up
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna sing a song here now
This song was written back in a time when
Things weren't as beautiful as they are today
Things weren't as
Ha, you know, nice, you know?
Things were gettin' hard
And there was
Not a lot I could do about it
Except I can take care of myself, that's right
That's right, and I can say uh-uh
Ain't gonna be no more, man
Ain't gonna be no more, man
Ain't gonna be no more, man
That's right, I said

Honey, you know I love you
I've been holdin' out all night
But if you want me you got to tell me now
Honey, you got to try
And baby, don't you want me?
Don't you think it's about time?
There's a fire down below but I got no water on the line
I didn't think it would be easy
Didn't know it'd be so hard
I need some kind of lover
But you walk me in the park, yeah

[Chorus:]
Gonna tell you for the last time, baby
This is gonna be the last time, baby
Gettin' fierce for the last time, baby
Ain't no going down for the last time, baby
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
For the last time

Oh, baby, I'm gettin' anxious
Waitin' out in the cold
These hands are way too idle, and
This excuse is gettin' old
You won't tell me what's wrong
You won't tell me what's right
You won't even let me touch you
When you're burning in the night, yeah

[Chorus:]
Gonna tell you for the last time, baby
This is gonna be the last time, baby
Gettin' fierce for the last time, baby
Ain't no going down for the last time, baby
Hey, yeah, oh, oh
For the last time, yeah

[Bridge:]
You won't tell me why
And you won't tell me when
I'm pounding on the walls
And you won't let me in

[Chorus:]
Gonna tell you for the last time, baby
This is gonna be the last time, baby
Gettin' fierce for the last time, baby
Ain't no going down for the last time, baby
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh

[Outro:]
Oh, for the last, oh, oh, for the last time
Said hey
Hey, ho, yeah, for the last, for the last
For the last time
For the last time
