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 gonna get you yet



But I don't really want to be the



Last one singin' 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 someday 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 singin' the blues



 



Repeat (*) 



 



Well fate will soon determine you're the one to lose



I'll be the one who's handin' you your walkin' shoes



'Cause I don't really want to be



The last one singin' the blues



Yeah, I don't really want to be



The last one singing the blues
