Last Thing On My Mind
Steps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was something in your voice
That was telling me don't be too sure
Arousing my suspicions
I have never felt before

I thought we had it made
I thought you'll never go away
But now you're suddenly like a stranger
And you're leaving our love behind
Of all the things I was every planning for
This was the last thing on my mind

When I looked into your eyes
There was something you weren't telling me
But in my confusion I just couldn't see

If there was any doubt
I thought we would work it out

But now you're suddenly like a stranger
And you're leaving our love behind
Of all the things I was every planning for
This was the last thing on my mind

There was something in your voice
That was telling me don't be too sure
Arousing my suspicions
I have never felt before

But now you're suddenly like a stranger
And you're leaving our love behind




Of all the things I was every planning for
This was the last thing on my mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Last Thing On My Mind" by Steps explore the emotions of a person who is unsuspectingly left by their partner. The opening lines hint at a feeling of uncertainty, as the singer listens to their partner's voice and notices that something is different. The lyrics suggest that the partner's voice is arousing suspicion in the singer, who has never felt this way before.


The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the shock and disbelief of the singer, who had thought that they had a strong and unbreakable bond. The line "I thought we had it made, I thought you'd never go away" underscores the intensity of the singer's shock as they come to grips with being left behind. The verse mentions that the singer had looked into their partner's eyes and had sensed that something was wrong, but had not been able to understand it at that time.


The repetitive nature of the lyrics throughout the song, particularly the chorus, creates the feeling of the singer being trapped in a situation they never thought they would find themselves in. While the song doesn't explicitly say why the partner has left, it is clear that the singer is struggling to come to terms with such a sudden and unexpected move.


Line by Line Meaning

There was something in your voice
I detected an uncertainty in your tone


That was telling me don't be too sure
You were cautioning me to not assume anything


Arousing my suspicions
This made me become doubtful and start to suspect something


I have never felt before
This was an unfamiliar feeling


I thought we had it made
I believed our relationship was indestructible


I thought you'll never go away
I assumed you would always be by my side


But now you're suddenly like a stranger
You've become unfamiliar and distant


And you're leaving our love behind
You're abandoning the love we shared


Of all the things I was every planning for
I never anticipated this happening


This was the last thing on my mind
This wasn't even a possibility I considered


When I looked into your eyes
I tried to find reassurance in your gaze


There was something you weren't telling me
I sensed that you were keeping something from me


But in my confusion I just couldn't see
I was too overwhelmed to understand what was happening


If there was any doubt
If there were any concerns or uncertainties


I thought we would work it out
I believed we could resolve any issues together

There's an ABBA reference, 60's and 70's fashion references, and the freshness of the upcoming new Century. All the best things in a delicious mix!
