Last Night (feat. Keyshia Cole)

Last night, I couldn't even get an answer
I tried to call, but my pride wouldn't let me dial
And I'm sitting here, with this blank expression
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child

I know you can hear me
I know you can feel me
I can't live without you
God, please make me better
I wish I wasn't the way I am

If I told you once, I told you twice
You can see it in my eyes
I'm all cried out, with nothing to say
You're everything I wanted to be
If you could only see, your heart belongs to me
I love you so much, I'm yearning for your touch
Come and set me free, forever yours, I'll be
Baby, won't you come and take this pain away?

Last night (oh, last night), I couldn't even get an answer
(Oh baby, what you wanna do to me?)
I tried to call (alright), but my pride wouldn't let me dial
(Why wouldn't you just tell me, baby? Oh)
And I'm sitting here, with this blank expression
(Don't say it, baby, no, no, no)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child
(I'm so alone, I'm so lonely, baby, oh)

Tell me what words to say to make you come back
Don't break me like that (ooh)
And if it matters, I'd rather stay home (baby)
With you, I'm never alone
Don't want to wait till you're gone (ooh)
Whatever you do, just don't leave me

Last night (yeah), I couldn't even get an answer (didn't get an answer, baby)
(Oh) I tried to call (call me, baby), but my pride wouldn't let me dial
(Oh, couldn't you just dial me, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby?)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression (don't sit there, no)
And the way I feel (alright, yeah), I wanna curl up like a child
(I'm so alone, I'm so lonely, baby, oh)

I need you and you need me
This is so plain to see
And I would never let you go
And I will always love you so, I will
If you could only see, your heart belongs to me
(If you could only see, your heart belongs to me)
I love you so much, I'm yearning for your touch
Come and set me free, forever yours, I'll be
(Come and set me free)
Baby, won't you come and take my pain away?

Last night, I couldn't even get an answer (I couldn't get you, baby, yeah, oh)
I tried to call (call me, baby), but my pride wouldn't let me dial
(Why couldn't you just dial me, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby?)
And I'm sitting here, with this blank expression (don't sit there, no)
And the way I feel (alright, yeah), I wanna curl up like a child
(I'm so alone, I'm so lonely, baby)

Why don't you pick up the phone and dial up my number?
And call me up, baby, I'm waiting on you
Why don't you pick up the phone and dial up my number?
Just call me up, baby, I'm waiting on you

A Dor de Uma Noite Sem Respostas: Análise de Last Night de Diddy e Keyshia Cole

A música 'Last Night', uma colaboração entre Diddy e Keyshia Cole, é um retrato emocional de um relacionamento em crise. A letra descreve a angústia de uma pessoa que tenta, sem sucesso, entrar em contato com seu amor, enfrentando o silêncio como resposta. A canção é marcada por um sentimento de desespero e a necessidade de reconciliação, onde o eu lírico expressa uma profunda dependência emocional em relação ao parceiro ou parceira.

O refrão 'Last night, I couldn't even get an answer' revela a frustração e a impotência diante da falta de comunicação. A menção ao orgulho que impede o eu lírico de discar o número do telefone é uma metáfora para as barreiras emocionais que muitas vezes impedem as pessoas de se reconciliarem após um desentendimento. A expressão 'blank expression' e o desejo de 'curl up like a child' ilustram a vulnerabilidade e o desejo de conforto e segurança que o amor proporciona.

Musicalmente, a canção combina elementos do R&B e hip-hop, gêneros nos quais Diddy, também conhecido como P. Diddy, Puff Daddy ou Brother Love, tem suas raízes. A participação de Keyshia Cole adiciona uma camada de intensidade emocional à música com sua voz poderosa e expressiva. 'Last Night' é um exemplo de como a música pode capturar a complexidade das relações humanas, traduzindo sentimentos universais de amor, dor e esperança em uma melodia que ressoa com muitos ouvintes.
