Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And show this world how to care
And nothing brings more joy to my life
Than knowing a girl will be there
Are ya happy girl?
(Huh?)
Knowing that you right near broke my heart in a piece or two
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'm a do for me what's right
In your eyes I 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 I 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'm a do for me what's right
I hope you're thinking
(Tell me girl, when I was your man)
I hope it senses
(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'm a 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'm a do for me what's right
(Got something I want to tell ya girl)
I hope you're thinking
(Tell me girl, when I was your man)
I hope it senses
(If you don't understand, then you don't understand)
We're 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 senses
(If you don't understand, then you don't understand)
(Yea yea yea yea)
We're 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?
The lyrics of the song Last Night by Justin Timberlake are full of emotions and pain after a breakup. In the first verse, Timberlake expresses his desire to enjoy life and show care for the world. He says that the only thing that would bring him joy is knowing that a girl is there with him. Then he asks the girl if she is happy after breaking his heart in pieces with excuses like being young and confused. He decides to "do for me what's right" and not spare her feelings tonight.
In the chorus, he says that he cannot believe what he was hearing last night, and the girl told him to have a nice life. He cannot spare her feelings tonight and will do what's right for him. He hopes the girl remembers when he was her man and thinks about it. In the end, Timberlake reminisces those days when they were holding hands in December and hopes they can get back to those days.
Line by Line Meaning
I just want to enjoy my life
I want to live my life the best I can
And show this world how to care
I want to demonstrate to the world how to be compassionate
And nothing brings more joy to my life
There's nothing that makes me happier
Than knowing a girl will be there
Than having a girl in my life
Are ya happy girl?
Are you satisfied?
(Huh?)
Knowing that you right near broke my heart in a piece or two
Knowing that you almost shattered my heart into pieces
Knowing that I would have walked across the ocean for you
Knowing that I would have done anything for you
Saying you're young and confused
Claiming that you're naive and uncertain
Well that's a lame excuse
That's an insufficient justification
That's why the only one to blame is you for
That's why you're the only one responsible for the outcome
Last night
Yesterday evening
Can't believe what I was hearing
I couldn't believe what I was hearing
Telling me to have a nice life
Asking me to have a good life
So tonight
Therefore, this evening
I don't think I'll spare your feelings
I won't be concerned about your emotions
You're on your own
You're alone
I'm a do for me what's right
I'm going to do what's right for me
In your eyes I see a second chance
I sense an opportunity in your eyes
Maybe I should take another glance
Perhaps I should take another look
But for now I'll wash my hands
But for now, I'll move on
Cause I love ya baby, love ya baby
Because I love you, baby
Pharrell say don't do it the same
Pharrell says not to do it the same way
But I say I ain't playing my games
But I'm saying that I'm not playing games
But for you my soul still remains
But my soul still belongs to you
I hope you're thinking
I hope you're considering
(Tell me girl, when I was your man)
I hope it senses
I hope you sense it
(If you don't understand, then you don't understand)
We're gonna stop dreaming
We will stop dreaming
(The way I feel)
About you
About being with you
Oh baby
Oh my darling
Yea yea yea yea
See I ain't gonna be the one
I won't be the one
Ain't gonna play these games with you
I won't play these mind games with you
But I still love you
But I still love you
Remember girl when I was your man
Remember when I was your man
Ain't nothing gonna take that away
Nothing will take that memory away
No no no no, no no-no
See I remember
I recall
In December
In the month of December
We were walking holding hands
We were walking while holding hands
And I was your man
And I was your romantic partner
Can't we just get back to that?
Can't we return to that time?
Baby?
My darling?
