Last One Singin’ The Blues Lyrics by Karen Carpenter

Karen Carpenter

1996

I've always tried to level with you eye to eye
I finally found the devil in you by and by
But I don't really want to be the last one singing the blues
When it comes to fiction you're the best I've met
But all those little lies are going to get you yet
But I don't really want to be the last one singing the blues
You say that you love me
But if you really love me
Then why do you treat me this way
Your game is that you're gone again
It's off and then it's on again
Well, some day I won't play
If all I do is catch you in the same old lies
I'll just have to look at you with different eyes
'Cause I don't really want to be the last one singing the blues
You say that you love me
But if you really love me
Then why do you treat me this way
Your game is that you're gone again
It's off and then it's on again
Well, some day I won't play
(Don’t forget the break)
Well, fate will soon determine you're the one to lose
I'll be the one who's handing you your walking shoes
'Cause I don't really want to be the last one singing the blues
Yeah, I don't really want to be the last one singing the blues
