Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know

Britney Spears · Triple Feature [2012]

My friends say you're so into me

And that you need me desperately

They say you say we're so complete



But I need to hear it straight from you

If you want me to believe it's true

I've been waiting for so long it hurts

I wanna hear you say the words, please



[chorus:]

Don't, don't let me be the last to know

Don't hold back, just let it go

I need to hear you say

You need me all the way

Oh, if you love me so,

Don't let me be the last to know



Your body language says so much

Yeah, I feel it in the way you touch

'Till you say the words

It's not enough

C'mon and tell me you're in love please



[chorus:]

Don't, don't let me be the last to know,

Don't hold back, just let it go

I need to hear you say

You need me all the way

Oh, if you love me so

Don't let me be the... last to know (yeah)



C'mon baby, c'mon darling,

C'mon, let me be the one

C'mon now, oh, oh, oh



I need to hear you say (I need to hear you say)

You love me all the way (You love me all the way)

And I don't wanna wait another day (And I don't wanna wait another day)

I wanna feel the way you feel

Oh, c'mon



[chorus:]

Don't, (don't), don't let me be the last (just let me be the one)

Don't (don't) hold back (hold back), just let it go (just let it go)

I need to hear you say (I need to hear you say)

You need me all the way (You need me all the way)

So... baby, if you love me

Don't let me be the last to know
