Last Request Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slow down, lie down
Remember it's just you and me
Don't sell out, bow out
Remember how this used to be

[Pre-Chorus]
I just want you closer
Is that alright?
Baby, let's get closer, tonight

[Chorus]
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure, I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there
Lay down beside me


[Verse 2]
Oh, an' I've found, that I'm bound
To wander down that one-way road
Oh, and I realise all about your lies
But I'm no wiser than the fool that I was before

[Pre-Chorus]
I just want you closer
Is that alright?
Baby, let's get closer, tonight
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Yeah, lay down beside
One last time let's go there
Lay down beside me

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 [?]
