Last Name
Rayne Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way your sundress waves hello as you walk on by
I love your dollar store sunglasses hangin' on the end of
Your nose You got that thrifty, city, mixed up kinda style.
And oh you got it going on
From head to toe
There's just one thing about you
I don't like your last name
I think you need a new one
And I've been holding on to mine
Baby if you want one
I ain't good at speaking my mind
You know my words never come out right
So baby read between the lines
When I say
I don't like your last name
I love the way you smile when you think that I ain't looking
The way my dog loves you a little more than he loves me
God I love the way you knock me out when you come walkin' in
I hope you don't take this wrong
The only problem is
I don't like your last name
I think you need a new one
And I've been holding on to mine
Baby if you want one
I ain't good at speaking my mind
You know my words never come out right
So baby read between the lines
When I say
I don't like your last name
SOLO
Let's go ahead and do the church thing
Stay together make it work thing
How about your first name
Hooking up with my last name
I don't like your last name
I think you need a new one
And I've been holding on to mine
Waitin' for the right one
I ain't good at speaking my mind
Cause my words never come out right
I don't like your last name...
And I ain't doin' nothin' with mine...
There ain't nothin' about you baby
That I'd ever dream of changin'
No need to read between the lines
When I say
I don't like your last name
The song "Last Name" by Rayne Johnson is a love song with a twist. The song describes the singer's admiration for everything about his love interest except for her last name. He suggests that she changes it and even offers his own last name. The song highlights how love can make us overlook certain things in a person and, at the same time, have preferences for certain other things. The singer tells the woman that he loves the way she looks, her style, and the way she makes him feel. He also admires the way she smiles and how his dog loves her. But, despite all of these things, he still can't shake the fact that he doesn't like her last name.
The song encompasses a sense of sacrifice and compromise when it comes to love. The singer is willing to give up his own last name, and even consider a potential name change for the woman, to be with her. However, the last lines of the song reveal that the singer has come to accept her last name, and nothing about her needs to change. He loves her just the way she is.
