Last Thing On My Mind
Steps (Pop) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

There was something in your voice
I picked up on a tone in your voice
That was telling me don't be too sure
It seemed like you were warning me not to get my hopes up
Arousing my suspicions
It made me start to doubt your intentions
I have never felt before
I've never had this feeling about you before
I thought we had it made
I believed our relationship was solid
I thought you'll never go away
I never thought you would leave
But now you're suddenly like a stranger
But now you seem like someone I don't know
And you're leaving our love behind
And you're ending our relationship
Of all the things I was every planning for
Out of everything I expected might happen
This was the last thing on my mind
Ending our relationship was the least expected outcome
When I looked into your eyes
When I searched your face for answers
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
But I was too mixed up to understand
If there was any doubt
If there was any uncertainty
I thought we would work it out
I believed we could overcome it 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!
