Story Behind The Song

No story here, really. I just made the song up. I will say that, as I was writing it, I reflected on episodes in my life when someone (you know who you are) failed to return home at the usual hour and had some far-flung excuses. But, I can't say I was perfect either (so, take that!)

Song Description

Finally had enough of an unfaithful partner

Lyrics

The Last Time

V1: Why, oh why do I let you get by
With a wink as you walk in the door
I've heard your lines about a million times
I don't want to hear 'em anymore
Do you so like to see me suffer?
Well, you must love to hear me whine
I'm telling you, this time we're through
Oh, for the last time

V2: When you walked in, your wall-to-wall grin
Made all my resolve melt away
Then and there you had me fair and square
But you just couldn't keep it that way
Does it look like I've lost my marbles
Or I'm suddenly deaf and blind
'Cause you're telling me I don't see what I see
Oh, for the last time

Bridge: It's the last time I listen to your grab bag full of lies
The last time I fall for your pathetic alibis
It's the last time for you
And the last time for me
Let's just agree we disagree

V3: I cast aside my last bit of pride
The minute I let you back in
You swore that she was a faint memory
I know you're seeing her again
It's guilt by association
And the punishment fits the crime
Let the record show I'm letting you go
Oh, for the last time
