[Intro] [Handclaps, bright synth chords, playful keyboard hook] [Verse 1] You’ve been standing by the telephone Practising the words when you’re alone Every time you see me cross the room You smile, then disappear too soon I have read the message in your eyes There is only so much you can hide Friday night is waiting at the door I won’t be waiting there forevermore [Pre-Chorus] One step closer Don’t think it over The clock is running fast This could be your chance [Chorus] It’s your last chance, last chance ’89 Say you want me before we run out of time The lights are turning, the stars are in line It’s your last chance, last chance ’89 Don’t leave love standing out in the rain Don’t make me ask you all over again One little word and the whole world could shine It’s your last chance, last chance ’89 [Verse 2] I bought a new dress just because Not for you, but maybe it still was My friends say I should let you go But they don’t see the way I know There’s a little courage in your smile It only seems to last a little while Tonight the music’s much too good To waste another misunderstood [Pre-Chorus] Come a little nearer Make the picture clearer The clock is running fast This could be your chance [Chorus] It’s your last chance, last chance ’89 Say you want me before we run out of time The lights are turning, the stars are in line It’s your last chance, last chance ’89 Don’t leave love standing out in the rain Don’t make me ask you all over again One little word and the whole world could shine It’s your last chance, last chance ’89 [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, don’t let the moment go Oh-oh, you already know Oh-oh, I can read every sign Last chance ’89 [Instrumental Dance Break] [Bright synth hook, handclaps, melodic bass, electronic tom fills] [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I’ll change my mind Maybe somebody else will arrive Maybe the calendar turns one page And leaves us standing in another age So take my hand while the record plays Before tonight becomes yesterday No grand speech, no perfect line Just say you’ll be mine [Breakdown] [Minimal kick, claps, soft synth chords] [Female, spoken] Well? [Male, distant] I thought you’d never ask. [Final Chorus] It’s your last chance, last chance ’89 Say you want me before we run out of time The lights are turning, the stars are in line It’s your last chance, last chance ’89 No more waiting, no more maybe someday You took my hand and the doubt fell away One little kiss and the whole world could shine On our last chance, last chance ’89 [Backing Vocals] Last chance—don’t let it slip away Last chance—love begins today Last chance—everything feels right [Outro] Last chance ’89 You finally made up your mind Last chance ’89 Just in time, just in time [Final handclap and bright synth chord]
