[Intro]
Uh
Last time
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
I never had a love I couldn't handle
But lately since I've lost my baby
I cried about it all the time, I can't let it go
And I don't know what to do no more

[Hook]
The last time I'll ever love someone again
In my heart like that again
That was the last time I'll ever trust somebody else
I don't need nobody else

[Verse 2]
There's something bothering me today
I haven't heard your voice babe, on my phone
My brother said he saw you and you didn't even ask for me
At all

[Bridge]
I don't even know why you left me all this aching (Ohh why)
So lost for words , can't explain how
How I'm feeling ohh

[Hook]
The last time I'll ever love someone again
In my heart like that again (Oh yeah give my heart like that again)
That was the last time I'll ever trust somebody else (I don't need nobody else)

[Bridge]
Lately I've been missing you, everyone's been seeing you
Why shall I pretend?
My hearts been broke again
It makes no sense to claim you now
Where were you when I was down?
It doesn't even matter at all
Everyone has to fall

[Hook]
The last time I'll ever love someone again
In my heart like that again (give my heart [?])
That was the last time I'll ever trust somebody else
I don't need nobody else
(I don't need nobody else)

New Edition

New Edition is a Boston-based R&B group that was seen as the inspiration of the boy bands that followed them during the 1980s and 1990s. The group initially consisted of Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe. They released their debut album Candy Girl in 1983 after being discovered by producer Maurice Starr. This album yielded the hits “Candy Girl,” “Popcorn Love,” and “Is This the End.” After a financial dispute, New Edition cut ties with Starr and released their second album New Edition in 1984, which features two of their biggest “Cool It Now” and “Mr. Telephone Man.” In November 1985, they released All for Love featuring the hits “Count Me Out” and “A Little Bit of Love (Is All It Takes)” and one month later released Christmas All Over the World.

Before the end of 1985, the group decided to vote Bobby Brown out of the group for his disruptive behavior. After their 1986 doo-wop cover album Under the Blue Moon, lead singer Ralph Tresvant was considering a solo career as the group’s direction was in question. In 1987, Johnny Gill was added to the group and the quintet went on to create their most popular album Heart Break with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis in 1988. This album was released on June 20, 1988—the same day as Bobby Brown’s Don’t Be Cruel—and features two more of their biggest “If It Isn’t Love” and “Can You Stand the Rain.”

In 1990, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill and Bell Biv Devoe all went on to have successful hits. Among these hits was the remix to BBD’s “Word to the Mutha,” which was the first song to feature all six members. After a hiatus, all six members came together in 1996 to create the album Home Again, which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and was a multi-platinum success. After some friction on the Home Again tour, Bobby Brown decided to depart the group again. In 2004, after leaving their longtime label MCA Records, New Edition signed with Bad Boy Records and released the album One Love but they left Bad Boy a year later due to a lack of promotion. The group continues to tour together and sell out shows after 30 years in the business. The group was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 23, 2017—one day ahead of the BET premiere of their 3-night mini-series The New Edition Story.
