Last Goodbye Songtext
von Jonah Smith

Somewhere below fourteenth street
In the breeding ground of the chic elite
I meet you in the corner of some whitewashed loft
It′s another downtown party scene
With women straight from magazines
But you know how to stand out
In any crowd

So I tell you some sweet lies
As you cross those sweet thighs
And roll your eyes into the back of your head
So I tell you something to make you laugh
And I take a mental photograph
With a caption that says
This is how I like you best


You used to laugh at how I dance
But it's impossible to think that
Time in and time out
I′ve blown my every chance
To win you back, it seems
Try to get you off my mind
But I won't rest till you're mine again
No more lies
Until I realize
It′s only the last goodbye

Harlem hues and Brooklyn dues
Friday night rendezvous
We can do anything you want tonight
And it′s cocktails and a camera
Condoms and some stamina
And you can laugh at the way I dance

You used to laugh at how I dance
But it's impossible to think that
Time in and time out
I′ve blown my every chance
To win you back, it seems
Try to get you off my mind
But I won't rest till you′re mine again
No more lies until I realize
It's only the last goodbye

And all the crimes of love acquitted before our eyes
All the truth′s revealed in pieces, it's no surprise
