I Don't Wanna Be the Last to Know - Shalamar

Boy we’ve known each other now for quite some time

Long enough to feel when something’s on our minds

You know I’m not the type to jump to any conclusion

But before you speak, I just want you to listen.

I'

(I don’t want to be the last

I don’t want to be the last to know

I don’t want to be.)

If you ever think about leavin'

(I don’t want to be the last.)

Don’t let me be

(I don’t want to be the last to know.)

If you’re gonna leave

Rest assured it’s only rumors floatin' 'round

And though you think you’re just a little bit premature

It’s good to talk it out

We’ve got to listen to our heart instead of to the street

So let’s talk it over

The same thing goes for me

Baby I don’t wanna be

Just give love that respect

If you ever want to say goodbye

(I don’t want to be the last.)

(Tell me why!)

(I don’t want to be the last to know.)

(If You’re going to leave.)

Don’t let me be the last

I remember when we, had an understanding

If I feel this change you’ll be the first to know

(If I’ve got to go away get away get away.)

Love never promised any guarantee

That we’d make it

But I can take it

If it can’t be what it’s been

Please don’t fake it

Hear me, baby

Before we say that final goodbye

Why not give our love just one more try

And I promise you if I can’t hang

You’re gonna be the first to know

I wanna hear it from you for myself

No, don’t let me hear it baby nowhere else

That’s all I want

That’s all I ask!

(Don't let me be, oh baby please,)

(I don’t wanna be)

(I don’t want to be the last.)

To know

(I don’t want to be the last to know.)

I won’t forget

(I don’t want to be.)

If somethin’s on your mind, tell me please

But Baby don’t let me be

(I don’t want to be the last.)

The last to know

(I don’t want to be the last to know.)

Give me that respect

(If you’re gonna leave.)

For the time we’ve spent

(Don't let me be, oh baby please,)

(I don’t wanna be)

(I don’t want to be the last.)

To know

(I don’t want to be the last to know.)

No, no, no
