[Verse 1]
I don't want a love (don't want a love)
That's burning fast
Ten-to-one (ten-to-one)
It won't last (it won't last)
Now I take a love (I take a love)
That's burning slow
Let's bend an eye (bend an eye)
And watch it grow (watch it grow)

[Chorus]
Let's make it last, baby
Let's make it good
Let's make it last, baby
Let's make it good

[Verse 2]
I don't want a love (don't want a love)
Like apple pie
Good while it lasts, baby (while it lasts)
When it's gone, you cry (you cry)
I don't want a love (don't want a love)
Like a snowy day
Out comes the sun (comes the sun)
Just melt it away
[Chorus]
Lеt's make it last (whoo-hoo whoo-hoo-hooo)
Let's make it good
Lеt's make it last (whoo-hoo whoo-hoo-hooo)
Let's make it good

[Bridge]
Like a poet will say
Of the flame that's burning fast
Ashes will there be
For the flame that's gone too fast

[Verse 3]
I don't want a love (don't want a love)
Like a racing car
It's fast today (fast today)
And slow tomorrow (slow tomorrow)
I don't want a love (don't want a love)
Like a changing style
Comes on like hot (on like hot)
Just for a while

[Chorus]
Let's make it last (whoo-hoo whoo-hoo-hooo)
Let's make it good
Let's make it last (whoo-hoo whoo-hoo-hooo)
Let's make it good
