    LYRICS:
    Baby Let's Swing:
    Laura, I saw you open in LA
    There's something I gotta say
    Laura, you know it's really been such a long, long time
    And you know Laura, I knew you'd make it good someday
    And you knew it anyway
    Laura, I know that maybe this is the wrong, wrong time
    But Laura, where did that magic go?
    It's so hard, it's so cold down here
    Did you have to leave me behind?
    I wish that I could make it
    But how I love to shuffle (how I love to shuffle)
    Baby let's swing (how I love to shuffle)
    Now I love to shuffle (how I love to shuffle)
    Ever since I heard you sing (since I heard her sing)
    The Last Thing You Said:
    So many people have heard me cry
    Since that terrible day when you said goodbye
    So many dark corners have heard me say
    How the light has gone out since you went away
    Everyone's heard of how you left me again
    Everyone's heard about my so-called friends
    They tell me I'm a fool, but I don't hear a word
    'Cause the last thing you said was the last thing I heard
    How many times I've tried to talk to my heart
    But it won't even listen since you tore it apart
    I have to tell myself there's only one thing to do
    Try and find someone else and forget about you
    I know she doesn't mean a thing in the world
    I waste my hours with another girl
    She says she loves me so, but I don't hear a word
    'Cause the last thing you said was the last thing I heard
    Don't Tie My Hands:
    Long-lost, gone
    I can tell by the way you carry on
    And it's now I see
    After all of this time what it's done to me
    Can't you see? I can't go free
    If you make me watch you cry one more time
    Once more I walk away, once more I hear you say
    Once more please try to stay, once more I may
    Don't tie my hands, don't lock that door
    Don't make me stand for this love anymore
    Please let me leave, don't start making that scene
    Don't crush me in between
    No one I wanted more
    I wanted to love, to be mine
    Now it turns out I have to say goodbye
    And I don't see why
    I should have to watch you cry one more time

    Good album, much like Laura, and unevenly bursting with sweetness and mystery. Clear definitions of singer-songwriters of that era in this record. Carole King, Jackson Brown, etc.

    I started following O. H. when he released S/A. I bought, Runt. The Ballard of Todd Rundgren--loved it! Except for WGGYAW & Believe in me, never heard this LP. Accidentally found The Last Thing You Said, and ultimately this medley. LOVE IT!!!! More Todd music that should have been promoted more than it was! Lack of promotion dogged his career!

    Still a great tune! Rediscovered it and really sent me back in time.Such innocence. His early voice was just so pure. He still has an extremely magnetic sound, more polished, more assured.I 'm still as captivated by him now, as I was back then. 💖

    June, 1970...The very 1st moment that I heard of Todd Rundgren was hearing this song on WINX 1600AM Radio in Rockville, Md. They didn't play it very often and after that 1st listen I waited and waited to hear it again, and I never forgot it. At the time I didn't know he was a Wizard yet, but I sure as hell knew he was a genius !! ~ Happy 74th Birthday TODD !!

      Why does Todd have to play so much Utopian stuff (I am asking myself not you) . Electronic sucks to me. How great was the hard rock electronic of Utopia? Not very, he was better doing more slow reflective ballads like this. "We gotta get you a women" came and went? I know talent goes and one doesn't want to repeat oneself, but Todd with so much talent; you used to swing baby better

      @@oppothumbs1 Electronic doesn’t suck it’s just not Todd’s best style. He plays aimless proggy electronica. A Wizard A True Star being the exception, it’s a masterpiece
      He said himself he could write a thousand “I Saw The Light” type songs, pop just became redundant to him. With his talent I believe him

    He dumped Laura Nyro. Big mistake Loser. Reminds me of the Beatles tune. He imitates her style in first two minutes of song. "I'm not your double" 😂

      He spoke of her influence on him. It’s on every Todd record. I didn’t know they broke off on bad terms or they were together at all
