Hall & Oates

Songwriter: Daryl Hall

Producer: David Foster

There was something about the way you left tonight
That really tore my heart
I remember the look in your eyes, it really ripped me apart

Oh the look
One last time
It can't be the last time
I gave so much to make you mine
How can it be

It's the second time around I've had this feeling
And I don't like it, no
When it happened before, I knew I'd never come back
All the way

Oh the look one last time
It can't be the last time
I gave so much to make you mine
How can it be
How can it be
How can it be
How can it be

Oh the look one last time
It can't be the last time
I gave so much to make you mine
How can it be

Please, please don't be the last time
It can't be the last time
I gave you so much to make you mine
How can it be

Please, please don't be the last time
Don't be the last time
I gave you so much to make you mine
How can it be

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
