Bettye Lavette - The Last Time lyrics

Time is runnin' out Friends are too The word is getting' out It's all bad news Scoundrels know my whereabouts They recognize these pointy shoes That's the last time I turn my back on you A friendly little game of cards Aces wild Your little life was just so hard You had to act like a child I recognize the queen of hearts When she's sittin' in plain view That's the last time I turn my back on you That's the last time I turn my back on you I kept waiting for a sign That we could push it trough There's a first time for everything It was long overdue That's the last time I turn my back on you I spent a lot of money I spent a lot of time Just to hear you call me honey Sends little shivers up my spine But after while it isn't funny This twenty paces thing we do So that's the last time I turn my back on you
