Like “Before He Cheats,” “Last Name” is one of those classic “Bad Carrie” song that keeps her fans on their toes. You can never pin Carrie Underwood down as just one thing.
In “Last Name”, a woman recounts a one-night stand. Though she claims to be ashamed, Underwood performs the song with a sense...
[Verse 1]
Last night, I got served a little bit too much of that poison, baby
Last night, I did things I'm not proud of
And I got a little crazy
Last night, I met a guy on the dance floor
And I let him call me "Baby"
[Chorus]
And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my mama would be so ashamed
It started off, "Hey, cutie, where you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh, no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name
Woo!
[Verse 2]
We left the club, right around three o'clock in the morning
His Pinto, sittin' there, in the parking lot
When it should've been a warning
I had no clue what I was getting into
So, I'll blame it on the Cuervo
Oh, where did my manners go?
[Chorus]
And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my mama would be so ashamed
It started off, "Hey, cutie, where you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh, no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name
Here we go!
[Bridge]
Mmm, today, I woke up thinking about Elvis somewhere in Vegas
I'm not sure how I got here
Or how this ring on my left hand just appeared outta nowhere
I gotta go
I take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road
They say what happens here, stays here, all of this will disappear
There's just one little problem
[Chorus]
I don't even know my last name
Oh, my mama would be so ashamed
It started off, "Hey, cutie, where you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh, no! What have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name
[Breakdown]
What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
Oh, what have I done?
I don't even know my last name
Well, it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name
Hey, yeah, yeah, woo!
Mmm, yeah-eh, yeah-eh, yeah-eh, yeah-eh, yeah-eh, yeah-eh, oh
[Outro]
It started off, "Hey cutie, where you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name
Oh, yeah
