[English]

The last thing you said to me

"If I don't leave now, then I never will

I miss you, but I gotta see

How somebody good for me feels"

You took off your dress and said, "One more night"

Head on my chest, though I felt you cry

And I took my time with what we had left

Then you said, "Goodbye," and baby, I said

"You know where I am, you know where I'll be

Whenever you want the last thing you need

When you miss the hands that know how to speak

Bad for your heart and good for your sheets

Keep saying that it's over now

Girl, I ain't gonna slow you down

But you know where I am, you know where I'll be

Whenever you want the last thing you need

The last thing"

Last thing I'm meant to do

Was be the best you ever had in your memory

And if you find somebody new

And think he needs a new enemy

Girl, come take off your dress and stay one more night

Head on my chest, a lot on your mind

Stay 'til the sun and make a mistake

You say it's just once but girl, if it ain't

You know where I am, you know where I'll be

Whenever you want the last thing you need

When you miss the hands that know how to speak

Bad for your heart and good for your sheets

Keep saying that it's over now

Girl, I ain't gonna slow you down

But you know where I am, you know where I'll be

Whenever you want the last thing you need

The last thing

I know I should do you a favor

Draw the line and make you a stranger

But I can't, girl

If it's tomorrow night or in another life

You know where I am, you know where I'll be

Whenever you want the last thing you need

When you miss the hands that know how to speak

Bad for your heart and good for your sheets

Keep saying that it's over now

Girl, I ain't gonna slow you down

But you know where I am, you know where I'll be

Whenever you want the last thing you need

The last thing

The last thing

Yeah, you know where I am, you know where I'll be

Whenever you want the last thing you need

The last thing
