As far as haunting last lyrics go, it's hard to beat "love will cut you just like a knife". Who sang this warning to end one of his band's hits?

"You better bet your life; or love will cut you just like a knife" is the ending to the song "You Better You Bet," a hit for The Who in 1981. Lest you think it's a deep song, it's been explained as a love song written from the perspective of a dude who drinks and smokes too much. Ah, rock and roll.
