Mariah wrote the song “Last Kiss” with Jermaine Dupri for her 2008 album, E=MC². “‘Last Kiss’ is a very special song to me. When I hear that song and I hear the first ‘Feel so empty inside, since our last kiss goodbye,’ I feel like an eight-year-old kid,“ Mariah said about the song. “I was playing it at a party for a friend of mine who happened to have Quincy Jones as one of her guests there and we were all listening to the songs and Quincy asked me to rewind that song and play it over again and I said, ‘Well, he is Quincy Jones! Thriller and Off The Wall! And if he's asking me to play a song over, I should pretty much take that as a humongous compliment!’ It makes me really happy 'cause that's my favorite song.”
Feels so empty inside since our last kiss goodbye
Picture you in my mind and I can't seem to rationalize
The way we let it end
It just don't make no sense
This can't be happening
I need you back again
Everybody asking questions
Like we're some kind of obsession
For the millionth time asking I'm like
“Uhh, just let it rest”
Can I get a minute to breathe
They're like “Nope!
What's up with you and so & so?”
But in my heart I know this
Ain't gon' be our last kiss
It's too big we just can't quit
What you think this is?
Our love will always exist
Aww listen to me
Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin'
What we got is still sumthin' sumthin'
Oh, this feeling is too good to miss
And ain't no kiss gon' ever be our last kiss
You said you'd never leave me so I'll keep believing
That eventually
We gon' kiss away the hurt do it like it were
And wake up how we used to be
Never let it go get it right
Bring it back home stay for life
Call it what you want it's in your eyes
We gon' make it through this I'll prove it
Somethin' bout our love will not fade away
Always everlasting and
In my heart I know this
Ain't gon' be our last kiss
It's too big we just can't quit
What you think this is
Our love will always exist
Aww listen to me
Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin'
What we got is still sumthin' sumthin'
Oh, this feelin' is too good to miss
And ain't no kiss gon' ever be our last kiss
Whoo ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Whoo ooh ooh oo oo oo oh
But in my heart I know this
Ain't gon' be our last kiss
It's too big we just can't quit
What you think this is?
Our love will always exist aww listen to me
Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin'
What we got is still sumthin' sumthin'
Oh this feeling is too good to miss
And ain't no kiss gon' ever be our last kiss
(Chorus repeat)
