Lyrics Playing to Win - 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 don't wanna be the last)
(I don't wanna be the last to know)
(I don't really want to be)
If you ever think about leaving
(I don't wanna be the last)
Don't let me be
(I don't wanna be the last to know)
If you're gonna leave
(If you're gonna leave)

Rest assured it's only rumors floating round
Though your thinking's just a little bit premature
It's good to talk it out
We got to listen to our hearts instead of to the streets
So let's talk it over
The same thing goes for me
Baby, I don't wanna be

(I don't wanna be the last)
The last...
(I don't wanna be the last to know)
...to know...
(I don't really want to be)
...baby

If you're letting me go
(I don't wanna be the last)
I don't...
(I don't wanna be the last to know)
...want to be
(If you're gonna leave)

Don't wanna be the last to know
(I don't wanna be the last)
No, I don't
(I don't wanna be the last to know)
(I don't really want to be)
Just give love that respect

If you ever want to say goodbye
(I don't wanna be the last)
Tell me but...
(I don't wanna be the last to know)
(If you're gonna leave)
...but don't let me be the last

I remember we had an understanding
If our feelings change, we'll be the first to know
If you have to get 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's been
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 and from myself
No, don't let me hear it, baby, nowhere else
That's all I ask
That's all I want
Don't let me be
Oh, baby, please

I don't wanna be...
(I don't wanna be the last)
...the last to know
(I don't wanna be the last to know)
I won't forget
(I don't really want to be)
If something'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 spent
Don't let be
Oh, baby, please

I don't wanna be the last...
(I don't wanna be the last)
...to know
(I don't wanna be the last to know)
No, no, no
(I don't really want to be)
