This song was the biggest hit off Change Everything, and it was successful enough to keep the group visible in the United States. It's a song about infidelity, and is one of the more philosophical songs about it. In this one, the singer wants the girlfriend to stay even though she's met someone else. It's an interesting contrast to their previous hit "Kiss This Thing Goodbye," where the singer just wants to end it as quickly and painlessly as possible. >> The author Stephen King cites this as one of his favorite songs. "It's so goddamn sad," he told Rolling Stone.
So you're in love with someone else Someone who burns within your soul And it looks like I am the last to know I hear you've never felt so alive So much desire beyond control And as usual I am the last to know The last to know How you're feeling The last to know Where you are The last to know If you're happy now Or if he's treating you, like I treated you Or if he's cruel I'll be the last to know We spent summers up beyond the bay And you said these are such prefect days That if the bomb drops baby I want to be the last to know But now you're living up behind the hill And though we share the same city and feel the same sun When your winter comes I'll be the last to know Always the last to know How you're feeling The last to know Where you are The last to know If you're happy now Or if he's pleading with you, like I pleaded with you If you go, don't let me be the last to know Don't let me be the last to know Creations gone crazy The TV's gone mad Now you're the only sane thing that I have Always the last to know How you're feeling The last to know Where you are The last to know If you're happy now Or if he's cheating on you, like I cheated on you Oh, oh, oh You were the last to know You were the last to know Don't let me be the last to know
