Asking (For The last Time)
Another track which keeps the album glued together. The song has a funky riff running through it, whilst the high tech backing track, is a clear showcase for Mike's increasing love of modern sounds and styles.
Lyrics
I know I let you believe
You weren't important to me
And now it's safe to assume
That you'll be leaving me soon
Well I won't analyse it
I know I've been a pain
But I must emphasise
My need to explain
I'm asking for the last time
Is there anything
I can do to change your mind
I'm asking for the last time
Before you walk away
From this heart of mine
Don't say we're over and done
Before we've ever begun
Maybe you've made a mistake
Don't leave me for heavens sake
But I won't agonise
If you leave me behind
But I still recognise there's doubt in your mind
That's why I'm asking for the last time
Is there anything I can do to change your mind
I'm asking for the last time
Before you walk away
From this heart of mine
No I won't agonise
If you leave me behind
Cos I still recognise there's doubt in your mind
That's why I'm asking for the last time
Is there anything I can do to change your mind
I'm asking for the last time
Before you walk away
From this heart of mine
I'm asking for the last time
Is there anything I can do to change your mind
I'm asking for the last time
Before you walk away
From this heart of mine
