Janis Joplin - The Last Time Lyrics






Make it the last time, make it the last time
Make it the last time, oh darling please.

But I don't understand why you always pick the time
When I've just talked to you with your love on my mind.
To see a distant light, to hear a far-off horn
To leave me one more time, I can't stand no more

Say no more, well no more,
Well no more, darling, please.

And every time you leave I make the very same vow
That when you come back I ain't gonna love you no how.
But when you return you look so fine to me
I can't stand no more, my darling, it's just got to be

I said the last time, oh the last time,
Oh the last time, darling, please.

Don't you understand me, don't you understand me ?
Honey, don't you understand my word ?

Well, you told me that you love me, I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it's true.
Hold on to my heart, I'll believe it till you're leaving
Then I'll cry.

Oh darling, oh darling,
Oh darling, make up your mind

Oh, I can't stand your loving, honey, it's tearing me apart,
You done got my soul, but now you're after my heart.
Well, don't hurt me, darling, now you know how to do it so well
I just got one consolation, I just wail

It was the last time
It was the last time
It was the last time, darling, please.

When you told me that you love me I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it's true.
Hold on to my heart, I'll believe it till you're leaving
Then I'll cry.

Well no more, well no more,
Well no more without you, please!

If you wanna love me, honey, please stay home,
If you don't wanna love me, baby, please stay gone.
Don't you understand me, don't you understand me ?
Don't you understand my words ?

Say no more, oh no more,
Well no more, oh, darling, oh!

You told me that you love me I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it's true.
Hold on to my heart, I'll believe it till you're leaving
Then I'll cry, yeah.

  8. v.... d....

    O iubesc precun propia mea fiinta! Canta de-mi intra in suflet. Dumnezeu trebuia sa o fi mai tinut in viata pana ne dadea tot tot din talentul ei de a canta. Vasile

  9. L.... S....

    Anyone else get a huge Led Zeppelin vibe from this??

    L.... S....

    I'm with ya

    L.... S....

    One year before.

    L.... S....

    can't quit you ("And every time you leave I make the very same vow..." - "Everytime you go and leave me darling you send me the blues way down the line") came to my mind

  10. c.... ....

    My 1st time hearing this song.. I have a new found respect for Ms Joplin's vocals especially after being bombarded with the autotune singers of today..I read there are many old school singers that refuse to it.. and if she were around I bet she'd say no to it too

    c.... ....

    I am sure she would be true to her music, but she would also be in her 70s.  She would never survive our muzac society.

  11. P.... L....

    How can it be that I've never heard this before? Something must have gone seriously wrong somewhere. This is at least as good as some of her really great work.

  12. C.... ....

    Джанис - великая роковая певица.

    C.... ....

    CPalych все-таки, скорее, блюзовая

  13. f.... ....

    that's your opinion

  14. V.... ....

    I don't like her music :(

    V.... ....

    Your tone def

    V.... ....

    VendPrekmurec
    It's ok. Her music hates you more.

  15. h.... ....

    I have very serious doubts we'll ever see anyone close to being like her.

  16. Z.... ....

    ¡¡Genial!!

  17. T.... G....

    I just ear-gasmed.

  18. m.... ....

    I thought the same thing when I looked up the lyrics.

  19. T.... P....

    I search the lyrics on google, type "Make it the last time", and what I get from google - Taylor Swift! No, thanks. So sad. -.-

  20. S.... M....

    I disliked this when i was younger, my mother loved it, sang most of janis joplin's songs with such enthusiasm, her voice broke and sounded harsh to the ears, only later on in life did i realize that my mother sang Janis to the key, the two bear a strong resemblence, When i listen to Janis i cant help but be reminiscent of those who love me and the hardships that come along with that sort of love.
    Janis provide sacrosanct within all the crap tied into living the life we all live.

    S.... M....

    jessetouchette02 Almost makes you love your mum more eh? That's a lovely anecdote :)

  21. F.... F....

    Wow.... No words.

  22. S.... ....

    one of my favourites by Janis. By the way, 8 people are stupid. Fuck you all.

  23. M.... M....

    I like that you're in it--the rabbit hole needs more exploring.

  24. T.... ....

    oh yeah! I'm in the best part of youtube!!

  25. f.... ....

    Cool, thanks heaps.

    Just really noticed the excellent photos in this clip this time.

    Yeah, she was a beautiful soul.

  26. N.... ....

    Janis wrote this as far as I know. She did write some stuff when she was with Big Brother. She had every reason to write this one.

  27. S.... A....

    Powerful voice.

  28. N.... I....

    First Queen of Rock&Roll, I love any of her music. Thanks' posting it, take care take it easy :)

  29. f.... ....

    Does anyone know who wrote this song?

    (Yeah, I love Janis too.)

  30. b.... m....

    Shes The Most Beautiful person Ever i love her Music *-* <333

  31. A.... J....

    yess!! you cant even compare Hendrix to Joe Cocker

  32. r.... ....

    'Hendrix' no, far better then that, Joe Cocker was the male version of Janis.

  33. B.... B....

    My ex just fell apart to this song at a bar last nigh. And I'm dying, too..

  34. m.... ....

    Janis knew the blues just as well as everyone else who was ever hurt so deep. She was the only one who could express it the way she did, and we owe her some huge apologies for the music we give her today.

  35. A.... ....

    She was god

  36. S.... ....

    Sometimes,I have dreams about Janis.So much about obsession xDDD

  37. S.... ....

    Strange i feel way more the music when Joss Stone give herself the trouble to really sing than Amy Whinehouse.
    Amy had this fantastic voice, but its always almost monotone, i feel the guts in the lyrics but don t feel it in her singing,
    Maybe i haven t heard the right song yet.

  38. C.... M....

    Janis is and will always be the best white blues singer of all time. No one will evr fill her shoes!

  39. J.... G....

    Dudes.. I don't really like when a girl sings in a rock band, cuz' in a way i think it takes away the Rock concept, but that woman... God... That woman it is pure Rock n' Roll!

  40. b.... ....

    She was the vocal version of hendrix. Stunning!

  41. C.... M....

    There will NEVER be another like her!!!!!!! As long as I live, the memory of Janis lives!

  42. R.... ....

    her and ms. amy winehouse are the queens of making you feel the music. so grateful for both of them

    R.... ....

    Can't even compare the two

  43. M.... L....

    Janis was & still is living in my heart, she was full of truth & no one can ever come close to this woman!

  44. D.... S....

    @cdennen11maxx lol no st austin texas i believe somewhere in texas

  45. S.... ....

    was she from Joplin?

  46. I.... S....

    I love Janis!

  47. M.... P....

    tits at 1.01

  48. A.... ....

    I still have the original single of this song. On the B-side it has "Coocoo"

  49. R.... O....

    Janis Lyn Joplin (19 enero 1943 a 4 octubre 1970) fue un cantante, compositor y arreglista musical, de Port Arthur, Texas. Ella saltó a la fama a finales de 1960 como el vocalista de Big Brother y la Holding Company, y más tarde una carrera en solitario. En 2004, la revista Rolling Stone clasificó # 46 en Joplin su lista de los 100 artistas más grandes de todos los tiempos. [1] Su carrera continuó hasta su muerte en Los Angeles, California por una sobredosis de drogas, a la edad de 27 años
