Paolo Nutini – Last Request
Paolo Nutini – Last Request Lyrics:
Slow down, lie down.
Remember it’s just you and me.
Don’t sell out, bow out.
Remember how this used to be.
I just want you closer, is that alright?
Baby let’s get closer, tonight.
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.
And I’ve found that I’m bound.
To wander down that one way road, oh.
And I realize all about your lies.
But I’m the wiser than the fool that I was before.
I just want you closer, is that alright?
Baby let’s get closer, tonight.
Grant my last request and just let me hold you.
Don’t shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me.
And sure I can accept that we’re going nowhere.
But one last time let’s go there, ooh, lay down beside me, oh.
Baby, baby, baby.
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?.
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.
Grant my last request and just let me hold you.
Don’t shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me.
And sure I can accept that we’re going nowhere.
But one last time let’s go there, lay down beside me.
Yeah, lay down beside me.
