Last Thing You Ever Wanted To Do Lyrics

Last Thing You Ever Wanted To Do lyrics

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)



When you run into yourself around a corner of time

Having done and said this all before

And you start remembering somebody you once loved

The words you never said have passed you by



My memories run deep as deep as your eyes

And they burn with love that still won't die

Yet I misused you darling

But how was I to know

Were the things I never said not worth the try

And when will I ever see you again



So I keep running, running

Am I running scared or am I running after you

And ain't it funny how you go and hurt somebody

When it's the last thing you ever wanted to do



Sometimes when I'm sleepin'

I feel you close to me

And I wake up and know you're passin' through

Thinkin' that I'm crazy 

Or that it's just the moon making shadows

Lord they look so much like you

And I wonder if I'll ever see you again



So I keep running running

Am I running scared or am I running after you

And ain't it funny how you go and hurt somebody

When it's the last thing you ever wanted to do
