Our Last Time
Robert Cray Band Lyrics

As soon as the sweat begins to dry
Once the energy and excitement of our physical encounter has faded away

And you begin to forget why you came
And you start to wonder why you were here in the first place

You can't even look me in the eye
You can't even face me, even though we just shared a deeply intimate moment

When you remember your good name
When you remember your reputation and your public image that you have to maintain

And by the time that you step out of shower
And when you finally finish cleaning up and washing away our physical connection

And start to dry your hair
And move on to mundane tasks like grooming and styling yourself

You have long since ceased to care about
You have already stopped caring about me and our brief affair

Our last time
Our last time together

While you put your make up on
As you apply your cosmetics to create a perfect public face

I watch you yawn and check your watch
I see you are already bored and eager to move on to something else

It's all reflected in the mirror
Your restlessness and detachment are plainly visible in the mirror

You're already miles away from here
You're already far removed from our encounter both physically and emotionally

And as you watch me watch you slip into your dress
As you are aware that I am observing you dress and leave

And your high heels you know just how I feel
You understand that I am saddened by the realization that our encounter was nothing more than a fling

To be the last to ever know about
To be the last one to be informed about the end of our relationship

Our last time, our last time
Our last time together, our last time as lovers

The you put your perfume on
And then you apply your fragrance to leave a lingering scent of yourself

Your string of pearls and your diamond rings
You adorn yourself in your valuable jewelry

And take one last look around the room
And then you survey the room one last time to ensure you have not forgotten anything

To see if you've left anything
To verify that you haven't forgotten any of your possessions

And as you leave you turn and blow a kiss
As you depart, you show me a small amount of affection one last time

And tell me that it sure was fun
And you admit that our fling was enjoyable while it lasted

And what I thought had just begun
And what felt like the start of something new

Has just become our last time
Has instead become our last encounter

And what I thought had just begun
And what felt like the beginning of a romantic journey

Has just become our last time, our last time
Has now officially ended, and we are both moving on to our next chapter.
