Lyrics of One Last Time by Ariana Grande

verse

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

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've 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

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, babe
′Cause I don't wanna be without ya, oh

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, 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
