Don't think too hard, if you think it hurts that bad Don't talk about it, don't let it get you down It's only one part, of the story Just let it go, don't let it bring you down now. Sing the last thing on your mind The last word on your breath I'll be the one to keep you, keep you at your best The last thing on your mind 'Cause I don't need your mess I'll be the one to keep you one disaster less Straighten up your tie, take the microphone Forget about it, don't let it get you down Now is not the time, and you're not alone Shut up about it, no one can bring you down now Sing the last thing on your mind The last word on your breath I'll be the one to keep you, keep you at your best The last thing on your mind 'Cause I don't need your mess I'll be the one to keep you one disaster less I'll be okay, I'll be okay, if you will sing the last thing on your mind The last word on your breath I'll be the one to keep you, keep you at your best The last thing on your mind 'Cause I don't need your mess I'll be the one to keep you one disaster less The last thing on your mind The last word on your breath I'll be the one to keep you, I'll keep you at your best The last thing on your mind 'Cause I don't need your mess I'll be the one to keep you one disaster less
