What's the matter with you, pops?  You sure look beat about the gills, this bright. 
Oh, man, that soft cut out on me. 
What you sayin'? 
Yes, she copped a final on me. 
I know you was too proud. 
Solid M-O, man, but that's the last time for that jive. 
I know you gonna tell her somethin'. 

For the last time, I cried over you.
For the last time, I sighed over you.
I found out I can do without you.
Never thought that I could,
Never dreamed that I would.
Be feeling like I do, and not be feeling blue.
For the first time, there's a song in my heart,
Since the last time we drifted apart;
And when you said: "I'm afraid it's all over."
That was the first time I knew,
For the last time, now, I cried over you! 

For the last time, for the very last time, baby.
For the last time, your daddy has cried... cried over you!
