Last Chance
Joe Farren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m so tired girl of chasing you
There’s a million other things this man could do
I’ve been hangin’ round this town
For way to long
Tonight’s your last chance mama
Or else in the morning I’ll be gone

I bring you flowers from the park
I hold your hand when it gets dark
So tell me what it is
That I do wrong
Tonight’s your last chance mama
Or else in the morning I’ll be gone

I walk you home most every night
We get to your doorstep you kiss me good-bye
But you never invite me in
And girl it’s been so long
So take your last chance mama
Or else in the morning I’ll be gone

I’ll be the rhythm of your tune
I’ll be the melody soft and smooth
I’ll be your boogie-woogie man
Your favorite song
So take your last chance mama
Or else in the morning
Take your last chance baby
Or else in the morning




Better take your last chance mama
Or in the morning I’ll be gone

Overall Meaning

The song "Last Chance" by Joe Farren tells a story about a man who has been pursuing a woman for a long time but he has realized that he is tired of chasing her. He has been hanging around this town for too long and he feels like it's time for him to move on. The man brings her flowers, holds her hand and walks her home every night but she never invites him in. He is giving her one last chance to give him a chance or he will be gone by morning.


The lyrics of the song are emotionally charged and convey the frustration and exhaustion of a man who has been trying his best to win a woman's heart but to no avail. He is desperate for her attention and is willing to do anything to make her see that he is the right man for her. The repetition of the phrase "Last Chance Mama" in the chorus emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the importance of the decision that the woman has to make.
