The Last To Know

(album: King Cool - 1981)

I never thought you could do the things that you do
Oh baby
I never thought I'd go through what you put me through
Oh baby
You been out running around
All my friends told me so
You better tell me yourself
What everyone seems to know

I was the first one there
The first to share
The last to let it go
Is the first to hear I told you so
Always the last to know

The girl of my dreams
The love of my life
Oh baby
To feel the words that she speaks
Suddenly cut like a knife
To kiss the lips that I knew
And know they're not mine anymore
After the loving is through
To know someone's been there before

I can't' let go
I tried but I know
That I'll never be able to trust any woman again
Every time that I follow my heart
I reach a dead end

I was the first one there
The first to share
The last to let it go
Is the first to hear I told you so
Always the last to know

The one who always see the best of it
Always feels the heartache most
He never seems to see the rest of it
He's always last to know
