Baby Let's Swing / The Last Thing You Said / Don't Tie My Hands - Todd Rundgren

Laura, I saw you open in L. A

There’s something I gotta say

Laura, you know it’s really been such a long, long time

And you know

Laura, I knew you’d make it good someday

And you knew it anyway

Laura, I know that maybe this is the wrong, wrong time

But Laura, where did that magic go?

It’s so hard, it’s so cold down here

Did you have to leave me behind?

I wish that I could make it

But how I love to shuffle (how I love to shuffle)

Baby let’s swing (how I love to shuffle)

Now I love to shuffle (how I love to shuffle)

Ever since I heard you sing (since I heard her sing)

So many people have heard me cry

Since that terrible day when you said goodbye

So many dark corners have heard me say

How the light has gone out since you went away

Everyone’s heard of how you left me again

Everyone’s heard about my so-called friends

They tell me I’m a fool, but I don’t hear a word

'Cause the last thing you said was the last thing I heard

(The last thing you said was the last thing I heard)

How many times I’ve tried to talk to my heart

But it won’t even listen since you tore it apart

I have to tell myself there’s only one thing to do

Try and find someone else and forget about you

I know she doesn’t mean a thing in the world

I waste my hours with another girl

She says she loves me so, but I don’t hear a word

'Cause the last thing you said was the last thing I heard

(The last thing you said was the last thing I heard)

Long lost, gone

I can tell by the way that you carry on

And it’s now I see

After all of this time what it’s done to me

Can’t you see?

I can’t go free

If you make me watch you cry one more time

Once more I walk away

Once more I hear you say

Once more please try to stay

Once more I may

Don’t tie my hands, don’t lock that door

Don’t make me stand for this love anymore

Please let me leave, don’t start making that scene

Don’t crush me in between

No one I wanted more

I wanted to love, to be mine

Now it turns out I have to say goodbye

And I don’t see why

I should have to watch you cry one more time

Once more I walk away

Once more I hear you say

Once more please try to stay

Once more I may

Don’t tie my hands, don’t lock that door

Don’t make me stand for this love anymore

Please let me leave, don’t start making that scene

Don’t crush me in between

Don’t tie my hands, don’t lock that door

Don’t make me stand for this love anymore

Please let me leave, don’t start making that scene

Don’t crush me in between

Don’t tie my hands (don't crush me in between) don’t lock that door

Don’t make me stand (don't crush me in between) for this love anymore

Please let me leave (don't crush me in between) don’t start making that scene

Don’t crush me in between
