Lyrics

Make it the last time, make it the last time
Make it the last time, oh darling please

But I don't understand why you always pick the time
When I've just talked to you with your love on my mind
To see a distant light, to hear a far-off horn
To leave me one more time, I can't stand no more

Say no more, well no more
Well no more, darling, please

And every time you leave I make the very same vow
That when you come back I ain't gonna love you no how
But when you return you look so fine to me
I can't stand no more, my darling, it's just got to be

I said the last time, oh the last time
Oh the last time, darling, please

Don't you understand me, don't you understand me ?
Honey, don't you understand my word ?

Well, you told me that you love me, I believed you, darling
But you lied, you know it's true
Hold on to my heart, I'll believe it till you're leaving
Then I'll cry

Oh darling, oh darling
Oh darling, make up your mind

Oh, I can't stand your loving, honey, it's tearing me apart
You done got my soul, but now you're after my heart
Well, don't hurt me, darling, now you know how to do it so well
I got one consolation, I just wail

It was the last time
It was the last time
It was the last time, darling, please

When you told me that you love me I believed you, darling
But you lied, you know it's true
Hold on to my heart, I'll believe it till you're leaving
Then I'll cry

Well no more, well no more
Well no more without you, please!

If you wanna love me, honey, please stay home
If you don't wanna love me, baby, please stay gone
Don't you understand me, don't you understand me ?
Don't you understand my words ?

Say no more, oh no more
Well no more, oh, darling, oh!

You told me that you love me I believed you, darling
But you lied, you know it's true
Hold on to my heart, I'll believe it till you're leaving
Then I'll cry, yeah
