Gnarls Barkley - The Last Time Lyrics






[Verse]
All work and no play
That's the way it is, ain't it?
There's a rhythm deep inside of you
And you must get reacquainted

[Hook]
When was the last time you danced?
When was the last time you danced?
Well come rock with me baby
Dance with me darling
Step with me sweetheart
The world is watching

[Verse]
Under an endless sky
Wish I could fly away forever (and ever)
And the poetry is so pure
When we are on the floor together (it's been a long time)

[Hook]

[Bridge]
Don't deny me any further
Let me have my way
Oooh, come closer, yeah
Let's dance the night away

[Hook]

  4. �.... �....

    this gives me the chills AND warms my heart at the same time

  5. M.... W....

    When was the last time your feet touched solid ground?As for me I have found the secret of human flight.take care of yourself and goodnight.M.

  6. M.... ....

    Who else was only brought here by YMS?

  7. i.... ....

  8. x.... h....

  9. E.... T....

    i remember i had this playing when this car commercial came on.......i was like damn.......that was a sick commercial :) then i realized it was just my cd......the tv was muted......woulda been a pretty good commercial.....some luxury sedan :)

  10. l.... b....

    All I want is your understanding,
    As in the small act of affection
    Why is this my life?
    Is almost everybody's question

    And I've tried,
    Everything but suicide,
    But it's crossed my mind

    I prefer peace,
    Wouldn't have to have one worldy possesion,
    But essentially I'm an animal,
    So just what do I do with all the aggresion?

    Well I've tried,
    Everything but suicide,
    But it's crossed my mind

    Life is a one way street and,
    If you could paint it,
    I'd draw myself going in the right direction,
    So I go all the way,
    Like I really, really know but the truth is,
    I'm only guessing

    And I've tried,
    Everything but suicide,
    Ooh but it's crossed my mind

    Just a thought

    It's even dark in the day time,
    It's not just good, it's great depression
    When I was lost I even found myself,
    Looking in the gun's direction

    And so I've tried
    Everything but suicide
    But yes, it's crossed my mind

    But I'm fine

    l.... b....

    laszlo beke that is just a thought not the last time lyrics. I'm confused.

  11. M.... W....

    LOVE IT.

  12. H.... A....

    I love this song. too bad the ppl around me suck.

  13. H.... A....

    "I can paint a picture with a pen. but a song will only scratch the skin" not from this song but some of the best lyrics I've ever heard and this whole song is just as amazing in all.

    H.... A....

    Check out K-Rino - Flow Session 1 if you like amazing lyrics. I like Flow session 5 the best tho

  14. J.... L....

    Is it sad that at the start of the song with the sssssssss I thought it would go ssssssssssssomebody once told

    *Ceelo Green fucking dies*

    a.... ....

    anonomyous65 God I despise you.

    a.... ....

    You gotem'd yourself? You are not allowed to do that, not even on the internet

  16. A.... R....

    Rock with me baby
    Dance with me darling

    A.... R....

    step with me sweetheart

  17. X.... B....

    The company brought me here :D who else?

  18. X.... B....

    The company brought me here :D who else? hahahaha

  19. X.... B....

    The company brought me here :D who else? hahahaha

  20. E.... M....

    Adam Johnston brought me here 

    E.... M....

    When did he use this song?

    E.... M....

    he used it in the loveley boner

    E.... M....

    He also used it reviewing Precious I think.

    E.... M....

    Ellie Marí knowing good music brought me hear

    E.... M....

    Wow. Because i brought me here.

  21. h.... ....

    It's just so funky

  22. D.... B....

    Great song, as is much of everything Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo do, together or otherwise, but good God are the lyrics to this song rape-y. I feel like this could be used as evidence against Cee-Lo in court. 

    D.... B....

    I thought that myself. In an interview cee lo stated this applied to the music industry though. This was his breakthrough and his first dance. Much of this album is subtle

  23. H.... K....

    God I love his voice. Its a shame he did all that stupid fucked up shit cause it makes me feel guilty for enjoying his talent so much. Michael Jackson is the same for me I guess.

    H.... K....

    Separate art from artist

    H.... K....

    @The Angry Tree Ive thought a lot about the Foucault and Barthes theories of the dead author (Im a pretentious as fuck art student you see) and I come down about half and half on it. You have to respect the individual of the artist to some degree, to respect and understand ones self as an artist especially. In this case it doesn't bother me that im listening to ceelo greens music so long as i find a way to do it without giving him my money. Dangermouse wrote almost all of it anyway :)

    H.... K....

    Ima Dork what did he do?

    H.... K....

    Yes, 2 years later & 1 month ago from Mark, what did he do? I second that emotion :-)

  24. M.... J....

    I love this song. I feel like I am retro walking during dusk in New York in the 60s and then break out in dance in the middle of the street. Cee-Lo is great, man :)

    M.... J....

    RIGHT ON, COOL :-) its been a long time.

  25. R.... E....

    all work n no play, that's the way it is aiint it? there's a rhythm deep inside of you and you must get reacquainted. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DANCED?? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DANCED??? well come rock with me baby. dance with me darling. step with me sweetheart. the world is watching ;-) under an endless sky. wish i could fly away forever, and ever. and the poetry is so pure when we are on the floor together (its been a long time) WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DANCED?? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DANCED????!!!!! WELL COME ROCK WITH ME BABY!!! DANCE WITH ME DARLING!! STEP WITH ME SWEETHEART!!! THE WORLD IS WATCHING!!!

  26. a.... ....

    Best Gnarls Barkley right here...

  27. 2.... ....

    one of the greatest songs that don't have a music video

  28. p.... ....

    notwithstanding the blatant and shameful racism in this post... you really couldn't tell?

  29. I.... L....

    Horizontal dancing you mean?

  30. j.... ....

    And some Otis...n some Sam Cooke; maybe a lil Barry..

  31. P.... ....

    This song is sex!!

  32. S.... ....

    This song is about sex!!

  33. d.... ....

    Man, this beat DM dropped and Cee-Lo's soulful voice is excellent! It's a simple song, but damn it's an amazing composition.

    New album coming this year! I can't wait, it's been too long! xD

  34. J.... L....

    This was my fav song on this album!! Had it on repeat x100!! lol <3 the way it ends and the beat is sick

  35. h.... ....

    i've woken up with this song in my head and sang it the remainder of the day, after only hearring it once, im a tad late to the cee lo craze :P

    h.... ....

    halfthecaff

    so am I

  36. L.... ....

    Well, he DOES have more soul in his voice then a good bit of artists out there. I agree there are others who have fantastic voices, but most are trumped by Cee-Lo's soul he puts into his work.

  37. B.... Y....

    the original is by Ian Langley, "Chicano chaser" (1973)

    B.... Y....

    Absolute thanks!!

  38. Y.... ....

    Bowie w/ Soul

  39. P.... N....

    THIS IS MY STUFF THO, LOW KEY

  40. Z.... M....

    Marvin Gaye

  41. K.... K....

    I love DM's attention to detail...
    There's some kind of old projector sound that runs through the whole album like the album is a film.
    Show DM some love everyone!

  42. p.... ....

    @Introvertsan Actualy, Gnarls Barkley is the name of the duo, Cee Lo and Danger Mouse.

  43. I.... ....

    Gnarls Barkley/Cee Lo went hard on this one
    its smooth

  44. J.... B....

    the martian? or gaye?

  45. Z.... M....

    @fibo908 damn you went off

  46. F.... N....

    @BIGZphillybirdfan you need to know that its not that the reason its not all over the radio. Only commercial junks get singles out. Album has to be it, if radio would like to play songs better than the bullshiat it does, it would just do it. But its part of making us all a mass plan. (Music For The Masses?) Tells u something ? Bored to talk about this shiat. Open your eyes, and your ears and u'll see.

  47. Z.... M....

    @elqquiereser I Know right if they would of had this as a single..... this would of been all over the Radio i mean how can you not like this song

  48. e.... ....

    I dreamed that I was the manager of Gnars Barkley and I say to them that this song has to be the first single of St.Elsewere, the second The Boogie Monster, third Who Cares? fourth Transformer, fifth Smiley Faces and just then and last Crazy, you know how more richer they could be by now if that wasn't a dream? :0

  49. N.... T....

    i just like the beat. lol

  50. N.... T....

    @nateebeme unh hunh..

  51. s.... ....

    yes, pretty incredible how he can collect 32.000 people and none of them is hatin´ :o) Good peoples!!! (dont listen to that bad shoulder side now.... ;)

  52. J.... A....

    Damn right theres no dislikes.

  53. l.... w....

    too many people slept on Gnarls Barkley

  54. P.... ....

    Great feel good song!!!!!!
    I LOVE it when he says "Dont deny me any further....... Let me have my way"
    The way that its worded and the way he sings it is really sexy.

  55. B.... P....

    0 dislikes! hellz yess!!

  56. J.... H....

    I'm the 100th person to like this video woo :D

  57. S.... M....

    Such nice memories to this song

  58. J.... M....

    This is an epic song.

  59. J.... ....

    @SenorialDay010 That's because, if you read the description/comments, the music associations took the audio off of the other one due to copyright. Haven't gotten this one.

  60. r.... ....

    i listen 2 St. Elsewhere if not everyday @least every other day weirdly different man, great sound, great voice...=)

  61. B.... W....

    come to bonnaroo please

  62. S.... ....

    epic song to put you in a good mood or increase it to heaven ;)

  63. J.... ....

    wish this song was playin at my prom ahhhh

  64. S.... ....

    I'm confused. I clicked on another video called "Gnarls Barkley - The Last Time" and it was a completely different song. Whatever; I like this one better anyway.

  65. A.... T....

    Who else hates that all people know from Gnarls is Crazy? And I'm sure people will just buy Forget you on itunes and not hear the rest of his amazing solo cd that begs to be heard!

  66. R.... D....

    Cee-Lo's albums always have absolute gems lurking at the back

  67. N.... ....

    @BIGZphillybirdfan

    Absolutely!

  68. N.... ....

    @leamodanielzueras

    Agreed! :)

  69. F.... E....

    this is rap music a product of ur enviroment . gnarls barkley inbodies these things and he didn't forget the elements of hiphop look at the cover. Cee-lo never forgot .

  70. F.... E....

    this is rap music a product of ur enviroment . gnarls barkley inbodies these things and he didn't forget the elements of hiphop look at the cover.

  71. Z.... M....

    Cee-Lo has some Marvin in him

  72. N.... ....

    @nateebeme
