One Last Time - Ariana Grande
The Experience: One Last Time has a catchy beat, but addresses the painful topic of betrayal as Ariana begs for another chance to be the one who takes you home after she has betrayed the one who loved her.
Music video: Just the album cover audio track for now...
The Meaning: As Ariana sings I was a liar I gave into the fire she claims she is sorry for her mistakes, but further lines like Baby I don’t care if you got her in your heart All I really care is you wake up in my arms shows her sorrow is more about getting what she wants than true love for the other. She needs to be the one who takes you home, but will that really solve her problems? Maybe she needs to take a step back and ask herself what she really needs and if this obsession with this guy is really going to bring her the fulfillment she is looking for.
Ask yourself: Are my relationships about getting what I want or about seeking the best for the other person?

LYRICS:
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
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
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
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
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 baby
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
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 baby
Cause I don’t want to be with you
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
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
