"I Don't Wanna Be The Last To Know" lyrics

[F:] Boy we've known each other now for quite some time,
Long enough to feel when something's on our minds.
You know I'm not the type to jump to any conclusion,
But before you speak, I just want you to listen. I?

(I don't want to be the last.
I don't want to be the last to know.
I don't want to be.)
[F:] If you ever think about leavin'.
(I don't want to be the last.)
[F:] Don't let me be.
(I don't want to be the last to know.)
[F:] If you're gonna leave.

[M:] Rest assured it's only rumors floatin' 'round.
And though you think you're just a little bit premature,
It's good to talk it out.
We've got to listen to our heart instead of to the street.
So let's talk it over.
The same thing goes for me.
Baby I don't wanna be.

(I don't want to be the last.)
[M:] The Last.
(I don't want to be the last to know.)
[M:] To know. Baby,
(I don't want to be.)
[M:] If you're letting me go.
(I don't want to be the last.)
[M:] I don't
(I don't want to be the last to know.)
[M:] Want to be.
(If You're going to leave.)
[M:] Don't let me be the last to know.
(I don't want to be the last.)
(No I don't)
(I don't want to be the last to know.)
[Male line]
[F:] Just give love that respect.
[M:] If you ever want to say goodbye,
(I don't want to be the last.)
(Tell me why!)
(I don't want to be the last to know.)
(If You're going to leave.)
[M:] Don't let me be the last.

[M:] I remember when we, had an understanding.
If I feel this change you'll be the first to know,
(((If I've got to go away,) get away,) get away.)

[M:] Love never promised any guarantee,
That we'd make it. But I can take it.
If it can't be what it's been,
Please don't fake it. Hear me baby.

[F:] Before we say that final goodbye,
Why not give our love just one more try.
And I promise you if I can't hang,
You're gonna be the first to know.

[M:] I wanna hear it from you for myself.
No, don't let me hear it baby nowhere else.
[F:] That's all I want.
[M:] That's all I ask.
(Don't let me be, oh baby please,)
(I don't wanna be)
(I don't want to be the last.)
[M:] To know.
(I don't want to be the last to know.)
[F:] I won't forget.
(I don't want to be.)
[F:] If somethin's on your mind, tell me please,
But Baby don't let me be.
(I don't want to be the last.)
[F:] The last to know.
(I don't want to be the last to know.)
[F:] Give me that respect.
(If you're gonna leave.)
[Fade out]
[M:] For the time we've spent,
(Don't let me be, oh baby please,)
(I don't wanna be)
(I don't want to be the last.)
[M:] To know
(I don't want to be the last to know.)
[M:] No, no, no.
