Last Song On The Jukebox

They circle all the flats in red
It’s been a while since they have shared a bed
They’re living separate lives
He pours his half into his pint
A big decision must be made tonight
They’re living separate lives
It’s been a hard and stressful day
As he turns round to her
He’s heard to gently say:
Please don’t try so hard to please me
Take your time girl, take it easy
Like the last song on the jukebox, make it last
Please don’t take it quite so fast
An ultimatum must be made
If all the time together can be saved
The pressure’s building up
She wants a home, she wants a child
Her days of being single, free, and wild
She’ll quietly give them up
He’s changing everything this year
But in his mind he’s known
To whisper in her ear:
Please don’t try so hard to please me
Take your time girl, take it easy
Like the last song on the jukebox, make it last
Please don’t take it quite so fast
A sudden opportunity to lose ten years of sleep
They know that this decision they must keep
To bring a child into this world
A wasteland full of bigotry and hurt
It wouldn’t be too good
But then again the world could change
The make up of the human race is strange
It’s possible it could
He’s made his mind up for today
He’d like a child with her
But first he turns to say:
Please don’t try so hard to please me
Take your time girl, take it easy
Like the last song on the jukebox, make it last
Please don’t take it quite so fast
Please don’t try so hard to please me
Take your time girl, take it easy
Like the last song on the jukebox, make it last
Please don’t take it quite so fast
