Baby Let's Swing/the Last Thing You Said/don't Tie My Hands Lyrics - The Complete Bearsville Albums Collection - Todd Rundgren

BABY LET'S SWING 

Laura, I saw you open in LA 

There's something I gotta say 

Laura, you know it's really been such a long, long time 

And you know Laura, I knew you'd make it good someday 

And you knew it anyway 

Laura, I know that maybe this is the wrong, wrong time 

But Laura where did that magic go 

It's so hard, it's so cold down here 

Did you have to leave me behind? 

I wish that I could make it 

But how I love to shuffle (how I love to shuffle) 

Baby let's swing 

Now I love to shuffle 

Ever since I heard you sing (since I heard her sing)

Laura, I saw you in that magazine 

You looked like a gypsy queen 

Laura, I beat around the bush 'cause it's oh so hard 

But you know Laura, it's not the best it's ever been 

I think you know what I mean 

I wish you'd take a look in your own back yard 

To see that someone has seen it all 

Seen you climb, seen you fall so low 

If you have to leave it behind 

I'll carry it on for ya, 'cause it's oh so hard 

Baby let's swing 

Now I love to shuffle 

Ever since I heard you sing

THE LAST THING YOU SAID 

So may people have heard me cry 

Since that terrible day when you said goodbye 

So many dark corners have heard me say 

How the light has gone out since you went away 

Everyone's heard of how you left me again 

Everyone's heard about my so-called friend 

They tell me I'm a fool, but I don't hear a word 

'Cause the last thing you said was the last thing I heard 

How many times I've tried to talk to my heart 

But it won't even listen since you tore it apart 

I have to tell myself there's only one thing to do 

Try and find someone else and forget about you 

I know she doesn't mean a thing in the world 

I waste my hours with another girl 

She says she loves me so but I don't hear a word 

'Cause the last thing you said was the last thing I heard 

DON'T TIE MY HANDS 

Long-lost, gone 

I can tell by the way you carry on 

And it's now I see 

After all of this time what it's done to me 

Can't you see? I can't go free 

If you make me watch you cry one more time 

Once more I walk away, once more I hear you say 

Once more please try to stay, once more I may 

Don't tie my hands, don't lock that door 

Don't make me stand for this love anymore 

Please let me leave, don't start making that scene 

Don't crush me in between 

No one I wanted more 

I wanted to love, to be mine 

Now it turns out I have to say goodbye 

And I don't see why 

I should have to watch you cry one more time
