Last Night Lyrics
I just want to enjoy my life
And show this world how to care
And nothing brings more joy to my life
Than knowing my girl will be there
Are ya happy girl?
(Huh?)
Knowing that you right near broke my heart in a piece or two
(Huh?)
Knowing that I would have walked across the ocean for you
Saying you're young and confused
Well that's a lame excuse
That's why the only one to blame is you for
Last night
Can't believe what I was hearing
Telling me to have a nice life
So tonight
I don't think I'll spare your feelings
You're on your own
I'ma do for me what's right
In your eyes a see a second chance
Maybe I should take another glance
But for now I'll wash my hands
Cause I love ya baby, love ya baby
Pharrell say don't do it the same
But I say ain't playing my games
But for you my soul still remains
Cause I love ya baby, love ya baby
Are ya happy girl?
(Huh?)
Knowing that you right near broke my heart in a piece or two
(Huh?)
Knowing that I would have walked across the ocean for you
Saying you're young and confused
Well that's a lame excuse
That's why the only one to blame is you for
Last night
Can't believe what I was hearing
Telling me to have a nice life
So tonight
I don't think I'll spare your feelings
You're on your own
I'ma do for me what's right
I hope you're thinking
(Remember girl, when I was your man)
I hope it sinks in
(If you don't understand, then you don't understand)
We're gonna stop dreaming
(The way I feel)
About you
Last night
Can't believe what I was hearing
Telling me to have a nice life
So tonight
I don't think I'll spare your feelings
You're on your own
I'ma do for me what's right
Last night
(Just-a last night)
Can't believe what I was hearing
(Just can't believe it baby)
Telling me to have a nice life
(Oh)
So tonight
(Yea)
I don't think I'll spare your feelings
You're on your own
I'ma do for me what's right
(Got something I wanna tell ya girl)
I hope you're thinking
(Tell me girl, when I was your man)
I hope it sinks in
(If you don't understand, then you don't understand)
Well I guess I'm gonna stop dreaming
(The way I feel)
About you
(Let me tell you one more time)
I hope you're thinking
(Tell me girl, when I was your man)
(My baby)
I hope it sinks in
(If you don't understand, then you don't understand)
(Yea yea yea yea)
Well I guess I'm gonna stop dreaming
(The way I feel)
About you
Oh baby
Yea yea yea yea
See I ain't gonna be the one
Ain't gonna play these games with you
But I still love you
Remember girl when I was your man
Ain't nothing gonna take that away
No no no no, no no-no
See I remember
In December
We were walking holding hands
And I was your man
Can't we just get back to that?
Baby?
And show this world how to care
And nothing brings more joy to my life
Than knowing my girl will be there
(Huh?)
Knowing that you right near broke my heart in a piece or two
(Huh?)
Knowing that I would have walked across the ocean for you
Saying you're young and confused
Well that's a lame excuse
That's why the only one to blame is you for
Can't believe what I was hearing
Telling me to have a nice life
So tonight
I don't think I'll spare your feelings
You're on your own
I'ma do for me what's right

my fav j.t song...i love his voice on this track
Oh, I've loved this track since 2003. Maybe cause it's got a great vibe, but most important because I think it matched my situation at the time (that is not completely over yet). I think J.T. is talking to a woman that certainly got his heart broken, mistreating him. He was somehow fooled and he wants to get back at her by fooling her...but he can't, because he in fact still loves her. He wants to use her and play her the way he's been played, he wants her to love him...but at the end he seems like the one who's still caught up. I love everything about this song, it seems so dancey but in the end he ends up remembering their days together, when he was "his man", in a very melancholical way, since they're obviously no longer together.
I can fully relate to this story. I hold feelings of "revenge" for this guy I've loved so much for so long now (almost 6 years). He "played" me (and somehow still does) and never cared too much about my feelings, so I am always wishing for the next time I see him, to "not let his feelings spare", making him crazy about me and play with his mind. But that never happens, since I still love him and I am not able to manipulate him the way he does it to me. No wonder I used to cry with this son...
This song was written about his girlfriend and him at the time. They had been in a relationship for almost a year, but he was on tour a lot and she was in school (there was a bit of an age difference). They messaged each other daily, and one night after a concert, she had sent him a message but someone else responded. This is how his girlfriend found out he was cheating on her with a back up dancer. They had a fight and he explained that it wasn’t serious with him and the back up dancer, but mostly sexual in nature, something he wasn’t getting from her. He tried to convince her to stay with him, but she told him despite being young and confused about life, she knew they were on two different paths and wanted two different things so she ended it. When this Album came out, she found out with the rest of the world that he wrote their argument in a song, blaming it on her. Had he not cheated, they’d have stayed together. Thanks for the heads up Jenna, I appreciated it.
