The Last Lyrics
Does it hurt to fall in love so easy
does it hurt to fall in love so fast
does it hurt you to find out
thirty-second hand
is it such a big task
such a big task
are you too proud to ask
remember last one was your last
It's too early to run to momma
it's too late to run like hell
I guess I would tell ya
cause it don't work to ask
that this one be your last
and this one child is killing you
this one's your last chance
to make this last one really the last
Oh are you too proud to ask
is it such a big task
remember last one was your last
The next one's always
gonna last for always
the next one's always on me
Would it help to fall in love a little slower
I know it hurts at any speed
so you have another drink
and get down on your knees
you been swearing to God
now maybe if you'd ask
that this one be your last
cause this one child is killing you
this one's your last chance
to make this last one really the last
gonna last for always
it's gotta last for always
repeat
does it hurt to fall in love so fast
does it hurt you to find out
thirty-second hand
is it such a big task
such a big task
are you too proud to ask
remember last one was your last
it's too late to run like hell
I guess I would tell ya
cause it don't work to ask
that this one be your last
and this one child is killing you
this one's your last chance
to make this last one really the last
is it such a big task
remember last one was your last
gonna last for always
the next one's always on me
I know it hurts at any speed
so you have another drink
and get down on your knees
you been swearing to God
now maybe if you'd ask
that this one be your last
cause this one child is killing you
this one's your last chance
to make this last one really the last
it's gotta last for always

About the last drink, and a last(ing) love. And the struggle of trying to maintain. A beautiful and vastly underrated 'Mats song!
@awesthou Also could mean don’t have another child because you can barely handle the one you have. I love this song and always have it on repeat. My husband heard it and that was his interpretation. I definitely think it also fits along with the ones you mentioned.

The lyric is not "thirty second hand" it's "third or second hand"
@robsun I always heard it as “thirty-second hand”. It tracks with Paul style of plays on words.

Two great lyrics;
and
Paul writes lyrics at such a high level but they seem almost tossed off. How did he not become huge?
