It's the last thing you wanted Tell me which side are you on, dear It's the first thing you do Give me some tips to forget you You tell me your problems Have I become one of your problems? And I tell you the truth Could it be easy this once? It's the last thing you wanted Everything that’s mine is a landmine It's the first thing I do Did my love aid and abet you? I tell you that I think I'm falling Back in love with you And I'll ruin it all over I'll ruin it for you I'll ruin it all over And over, like I always do Why don’t you I'll ruin it all over Rain on my parade I'll ruin it for you Shred my evening gown I'll ruin it all over Read my sentence out loud And over, like I always do Cuz I love this curse on our house It's the last thing I wanted Tell me which side are you on, dear It's the first thing I do Give me some tips to forget you I tell you my problems Have I become one of your problems? And you tell me the truth It's the last thing I wanted Everything that’s mine is a landmine It's the first thing I do Did my love aid and abet you? I tell you that I think I'm falling Back in love Back in love Back in love with you Back in love with you
