The Last Thing You Should Do Lyrics

What have you been doing to yourself
What have you been doing to yourself
What have you been doing to yourself
It's the last thing you should do-oh-oh-oh-oh

Nobody laughs any more
Nobody laughs any more
Nobody laughs any more

It's the worst thing you can do-oh-oh-oh-oh

Save the last dance for me
Catch the last bus with me
Give the last kiss to me
It's the safest thing to do-oh-oh-oh-oh

Yeah!
Yeah!

What have you been doing to yourself
What have you been doing to yourself
What have you been doing to yourself
It's the last thing you should do-oh-oh-oh-oh

Nobody laughs any more
Nobody laughs any more
Nobody laughs any more
It's the worst thing you can do-oh-oh-oh-oh

Save the last dance with me
Catch the last bus with me
Give the last kiss to me
It's the safest thing to do-oh-oh-oh-oh

I think this song is about a girlfriend who does drugs: "What have you been doing to yourself? It's the last thing you should do" Drugs could kill you. "Nobody laughs any more" The drugs have gone out of hand

Save the last dance for me Catch the last bus with me Give the last kiss to me It's the safest thing to do-oh-oh-oh-oh

He's telling her that it would be better off doing something else.

My opinion

i agree with scimitar, it's pretty straight forward. i love the 'catch the last bus with me' line. i can really relate to this song atm.
