The Brand New Heavies
"Last To Know"

Do you have a minute, I've got something on my mind
I'm gonna make it clear now, let me lay it on the line
You're giving me the runaround dishonestly and lies
The time has come to hear me out & recognise the fact

You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearing's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know

Talk me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss

Just the other night I overheard you on the phone
Whispering sweet nothings
Guess you thought you were alone
Well, you might think that I am blind
But hear me when I say
I can see right through you and your double crossin' ways

You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearing's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know

Talk me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss
Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay

After all that we've been through
I can't believe you'd be untrue
Still you're telling me our love can grow
So you better let it show

You should know by now
My Mama didn't raise no fools
If half of what I'm hearing's true
You're breaking all the rules
Tell me, tell me is it really so
I don't wanna be the last to know

Talk to me don't waste my time
Tell me if you're really mine
Broken dreams and promises
Think of all the love you'll miss
Lonely days and lonely nights
Is it truth or is it lies
Listen to these words I say
Love's a heavy price to pay...
