Ariana Grande

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was a liar, I gave in to 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

[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 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
[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, baby

[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]
Yeah, I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest, yeah
But stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it, yeah
'Cause I don't wanna be without you (Oh)

[Chorus]
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home (Takes you home, babe)
One more time
I promise after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart, babe
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home, yeah
[Outro]
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home

If you're a fan of Ariana Grande, it's likely that you already know about the song One Last Time. This track was released on August 22, 2014, as the second single from her album, My Everything. The song received a positive reception from critics and fans alike, and has since become one of Ariana's most popular songs.

About One Last Time

One Last Time is a pop-dance song that finds Ariana admitting to being unfaithful. The song's lyrics suggest that even though Ariana knows that she has made a mistake and doesn't deserve to get her ex-boyfriend back, she wants to spend one more night with him as her final goodbye. A part of her also hopes that after one more night together, her ex-boyfriend will be able to forgive her and take her back.

The song was written by David Guetta, Savan Kotecha, Giorgio Tuinfort, Rami Yacoub, and Carl Falk. It features electric synths, dreamy coos, and a throbbing dance-pop beat, all of which blend together to create a perfect piece of pop music.

Rumour has it that the song was written about Ariana's affair with Nathan Sykes from The Wanted. At the time of this affair, her boyfriend was Jai Brooks from the Janoskians. The chemistry between Ariana and Nathan supposedly began brewing when they created the song and filmed the music video for Almost is Never Enough together.

It's worth noting that after the Manchester terrorist attacks on 22 May 2017, Ariana's fans redefined the meaning of this song. They got it back in the charts to remember the 22 fans who lost their lives at her concert that night. Ariana at first cancelled her tour, but after receiving overwhelming support from fans and the music community, she returned to Manchester to hold a benefit concert that raised millions of dollars for the victims and their families.

One Last Time will forever be a song that has a bittersweet mood and meaning. Its catchy tune has won many hearts, and the beautiful lyrics have touched many souls.
