Let’s Make It Last Lyrics

I don't want a love
That's burning fast
Ten-to-one
Ah, that it won't last

Now I take a love
That's burning slow
Then bend an eye
And watch it grow

Let's make it last
Let's make it good
Let's make it last
Let's make it good
Whoa, lord!

I don't want a love
Like apple pie
Good while it lasts
Oh, when it's gone, you wanna cry

I don't want a love
Like a sunny day
Out come the clouds
Chase it away
Let's make it last (whoo-hoo whoo-hoo-hooo)
Let's make it good
(x2)

Oh lord!
Whoo-ooh!
Oh lord!

I don't want a love
Like a racing car
Hey, win today
And lose tomorrow

I don't want a love
That's burning fast
Ten-to-one, hey baby!
It won't last

Let's make it last (whoo-hoo whoo-hoo-hooo)
Let's make it good
Let's make it last (whoo-hoo whoo-hoo-hooo)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
