Last Night's Letter
K-Ci & JoJo Lyrics

Oh, yeah, yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm as the singer begins to contemplate their love

Yeah, baby, listen
Asking their partner to listen closely to what they have to say

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Further emphasizing the arousal and strong feelings that the singer is experiencing

Oh, yeah, you
Directly addressing their partner and establishing a connection

I was sitting at home
Reflecting on their thoughts and feelings while sitting alone

Thinking to myself
Considering their emotions and considering the best way to communicate them

I started thinking 'bout you
Turning their focus towards their beloved partner and feeling deeply for them

How much I do love you, I really do
Expressing their genuine, deep love for their significant other

I would never trade you, never forsake you
Promising to always cherish and value their partner

'Cause nothing could be better
Asserting that their partner is the most important and valued part of their life

That's why I wrote you this letter
Explaining their intention in writing a letter to express their love and commitment

I love you always, lady
Reaffirming their love as a declaration of faithfulness and devotion

Last night (ooh)
Reflecting on a recent experience and expressing how they feel about their partner

I wrote a short letter (I wrote a short letter)
Communicating their feelings through written words in a letter

And it went this way (and it went this way)
Describing the structure of the letter as they express their love and thoughts

"Dear, baby, I love you, just thinking of you (I love you, just thinking of you)
The content of the letter, a statement of their love and affection

Love always" (ooh)
Concluding the letter with an expression of eternal love and devotion

Now I know I could've called
Reflecting on an alternate way to communicate their feelings and connect with their partner

But it seem much better this way
Deciding that expressing their feelings in a letter was more effective than a phone call or other means of communication

'Cause I'm missing my baby
Expressing longing for their partner while they are separated

I'm so blessed your my lady, lady (you're my lady, you're my lady)
Expressing gratitude and admiration for their partner and stating their endearing nickname

Now I know I can't wait until tomorrow
Expressing excitement and anticipation for the next time they will be reunited with their partner

When you're in my arms again
Visualizing the future moment when they will be able to hold their partner and feel close again

Holding and kissing you
Describing physical intimacy as a way to feel close to their partner

Doin' the things we love to do, until then
Describing the shared interests and pleasures that they enjoy doing with their partner, and looking forward to when they can do them again

You, oh, baby
Addressing their partner with an expression of affection and warmth

You, thought all the things you do for me, I thought of all the things you wanna do for me
Reflecting on the efforts and gestures of love that their partner has shown them, and also considering the things their partner might want to do for them to show their love

You, baby, oh, baby
Expressing a deep care and love for their partner

You, hey, hey, ooh
Continuing to emphasize their intense feelings of love and admiration for their significant other

And baby, I want you, I want you, I want you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Expressing a continued desire and passion for their partner

And there is nothing that I'd rather do (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Asserting that their love for their partner is the most important thing to them and they treasure it above all else

Than to love you (you, you, you, yeah)
Reaffirming their unconditional love for their partner through the repetition of the line

I love you always (you, you, you, yeah)
Promising their love forever as their love song concludes

Every night and every day (when you like somebody)
Expressing their love and devotion to their partner all the time, because when you're in love, it is always present in your heart.
