Last One Singin` The Blues Lyrics

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



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



(Don't forget the break)

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
