Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know
Britney Spears · Triple Feature [2012]
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
