Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We parted many times before!
It's the last time, honey babe,
I mean I don't want you no more!
Now there's only one thing that grieves me to my heart,
Together so long I hate to part!
But the last time, honey babe,
I mean,
I mean it's the very last time!
Honey, it's the last time, honey babe,
I mean it's the very last time!
It's the last time, honey babe,
Mean I don't want you no more!
I don't care, you can tell your brother!
Stop your ringin' and twistin', mama,
'Cause I ain't goin' no further!
It's the last time, honey babe,
I mean it's the very last time!
I mean,
Dee-doo, dee-doh-dee-oh-doh!
The lyrics of Jose Feliciano's "Last Time" convey a sense of finality and determination to move on from a past relationship. The repetition of "last time, honey babe" emphasizes the singer's intent to end things for good. While acknowledging the pain of parting after being together for so long, the singer remains resolute in their decision. The final lines, featuring the nonsensical sounds "dee-doo, dee-doh-dee-oh-doh," add a playful and lighthearted touch to an otherwise somber theme.
One interpretation of the lyrics is that the singer is attempting to break free from a toxic relationship. Despite the emotional pain of leaving, the singer is firm in their decision to move on and find something better for themselves. The repetition of "last time" emphasizes the finality of this decision and emphasizes the singer's awareness that they've parted multiple times before, indicating a pattern of on-again, off-again behavior that the singer wants to put an end to.
Overall, "Last Time" is a bittersweet exploration of the end of a relationship, with lyrics that suggest both sadness and resolve. It's a powerful statement about moving on from the past and finding hope in the future.
