Ariana Grande - One Last Time
[Verse 1]
I was a liar
I gave into the fire
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest
Feel like a failure
Cause I know that I failed you
I should've done you better
Cause you don't want a liar (come on)
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, and I know, and I know
She gives you everything, but boy, I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything
But I got nothing here without you
[Chorus]
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
[Verse 2]
I don't deserve it
I know I don't deserve it
But stay with me a minute
I'll swear I'll make it worth it
Can't you forgive me?
At least just temporarily
I know that this is my fault
I should have been more careful (come on)
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, and I know, and I know
She gives you everything, but boy, I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything
But I got nothing here without you
[Chorus]
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
[Bridge]
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest
Just stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it
Cause I don't want to be without you
[Chorus]
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
[Outro]
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
