Love Me Harder
Ariana Grande Lyrics

Tell me something I need to know
Inform me with something that I ought to understand

Then take my breath and never let it go
Follow up by captivating me, don't let me go

If you just let me invade your space
If you allot me to intrude your personal zone

I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain
I'll apprehend the enjoyment along with the suffering

And if in the moment, I bite my lip
And if I clenched my teeth in that very moment

Baby, in that moment, you'll know this is
Glimpse that precise point; then you'll understand that

Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
It is something that is larger than just us, and much greater than happiness

Give me a reason to believe it
Provide me with a cause for me to deem it

'Cause if you want to keep me
Since you want to maintain me

You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
You must, must, must, must

Got to love me harder
Love me with more intensity

And if you really need me
And supposing you undeniably want me

You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
You must, must, must, must

Got to love me harder
Love me with more intensity

(Lo-love me harder)
(Love me with more intensity)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Sound of vocalization implying pleasure, love, or teasing

Love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me

Harder, harder, harder
With more intensity, power, or force

I know your motives and you know mine
I am aware of your intentions, and you are familiar with mine

The ones that love me, I tend to leave behind
The people who adore me, I usually abandon

If you know about me and choose to stay
If you know about me and decide to stick around

Then take this pleasure and take it with the pain
Then relish both the joy and the agony

And if in the moment you bite your lip
And if you bite your lip in that precise instant

When I get you moaning, you know it's real
Once I get you to groan, you realize it's authentic

Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
Can you perceive the intensity between your pelvic bones?

I'll make it feel like the first time
I will make it feel as if it's the initial experience

So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
Then what should I do if I cannot comprehend it? (Understand)

You got to try, try, try again, yeah (whoa)
You have to attempt over and over again, yeah (an expression of surprise or admiration)

I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again
I am going to leave, leave, leave once more

'Cause if you want to keep me
Since you want to maintain me

You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
You must, must, must, must

Got to love me harder
Love me with more intensity

(I'ma love you, love you, love)
(I am going to love you, love you, love)

And if you really need me
And supposing you undeniably want me

You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
You must, must, must, must

Got to love me harder
Love me with more intensity

(Got to love me, baby)
(You got to love me, baby)

'Cause if you want to keep me
Since you want to maintain me

You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
You must, must, must, must

Got to love me harder
Love me with more intensity

(Love me harder)
(Love me with more intensity)

And if you really need me
And supposing you undeniably want me

You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (I'ma do it, do it, do it)
You must, must, must, must (I am going to do it, do it, do it)

Got to love me harder
Love me with more intensity

(I'ma love you harder, hey)
(I am going to love you with more intensity, hey)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Sound of vocalization implying pleasure, love, or teasing

Love me, love me, love me (love me)
Love me, love me, love me (love me)

Harder, harder, harder
With more intensity, power or force

(Boy, you gotta love me, love me, baby)
(You have to love me, love me, baby)

Love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me

(Just a little bit harder, harder, baby)
(Just slightly more intense, intense baby)

Harder, harder, harder
With more intensity, power, or force
