Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
Let me introduce myself
Let me introduce myself
Let me introduce myself

Lookin' in your eyes, makes me wonder how
I got so much time, with you and there's more around
I know all the competition that's after you
So I get to thinking, is this to good to be true

That we're living
In a fairytale no malice in our lives
Baby oh, it's hard to believe
All the love you have inside is only mine
That's how I know

I can't, be your, only one
No I can't, be your only one
'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met
And your love is three time better, how could anyone forget
No I can't

I can't, be your, only one
No I can't, be your only one
'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met
And your love is three time better, how could anyone forget
No I can't

As I'm layin' down, with you every night
It still gets to me, that you remain by my side
I ain't saying that I'm not deservin' of you
But I was dreaming, bigger than I ever knew

I wished for living
In a fairytale no malice and no lies
Baby oh, it's hard to believe
All the love you have to give inside is only mine
That's how I know

I can't, be your, only one
No I can't, be your only one
'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met
And your love is three time better, how could anyone forget
No I can't

I can't, be your, only one
No I can't, be your only one
'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met
And your love is three time better, how could anyone forget
No I can't

Only one
Be your only one
Only one

on Love Me Harder

Tell me something I need to know
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain

And if in the moment, I bite my lip
Baby, in that moment, you'll know this is
Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
Give me a reason to believe it


'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Lo-love me harder)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder

I know your motives and you know mine
The ones that love me, I tend to leave behind
If you know about me and choose to stay
Then take this pleasure and take it with the pain

And if in the moment you bite your lip
When I get you moaning, you know it's real
Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
I'll make it feel like the first time

'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (love me, baby, love me)
(Lo-love me harder)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (you gotta love me harder)

So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
You got to try, try, try again, yeah (whoa)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again

'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you, love you, love)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Got to love me, baby)
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Love me harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (I'ma do it, do it, do it)
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder, hey)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me (love me)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
(Boy, you gotta love me, love me, baby)
Love me, love me, love me
(Just a little bit harder, harder, baby)
Harder, harder, harder
