I got one more problem with you girl
Aye
Hey, baby even though I hate ya
I wanna love ya
I want you
And even though I can't forgive ya
I want you
Tell me, tell me, baby
Why can't you leave me
'Cause even though I shouldn't want it
I gotta have it
I want you
Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
I know you're never gonna wake up
I gotta give up
But it's you
I know I shouldn't ever call back
Or let you come back
But it's you
Every time you touch me
And say you love me
I get a little bit breathless
I shouldn't want it
But it's you
Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya (ooh, babe)
I got one less problem without ya (ooh, woah)
I got one less, one less problem
It's Iggy Iggz, uh
What you got?
Smart money bettin', I'll be better off without you
In no time, I'll be forgettin' all about you
You saying that you know
But I really, really doubt you
Understand my life is easy
When I ain't around you
Iggy Iggy, too biggie to be here stressing
I'm thinking I love the thought of you
More than I love your presence
And the best thing now
Is probably for you to exit
I let you go, let you back
I finally learned my lesson
No half-stepping
Either you want it or you just playin'
I'm listening to you knowin'
I can't believe what you're sayin'
There's a million you's baby boo
So don't be dumb
I got ninety-nine problems
But you won't be one
Like what!
(Mhm, yeah) one less, one less problem
(Mhm, yeah) one less, one less problem
Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders (one less, one less problem)
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya (babe)
I got one less problem without ya (no, babe)
I got one less, one less problem (ooh)
One less problem without ya (ooh, baby)
I got one less problem without ya (yeah I got)
I got one less problem without ya (oh)
I got one less, one less problem (oh)
One less problem without ya (uh, hey)
I got one less problem without ya (without you)
I got one less problem without ya (I got one less, one less yeah)
I got one less, one less problem (problem, yeah)
"Problem" by Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea is a song about a complicated love relationship. The lyrics describe the singer's dilemma as she tries to move on from a toxic relationship. The song begins with Iggy Azalea's verse, where she outlines that she has one more problem with the girl, implying that there were already several other issues. Ariana Grande then takes over the rest of the song, explaining that even though she hates this person, she still wants to be with them but knows that it's not the right thing to do. She questions why this person can't leave her alone, even though she knows she shouldn't be with them. Despite everything, she still gets emotional when the person shows affection towards her, which further confuses her. Ariana acknowledges that she should be wiser and recognize that she's better off without this person, but her head is in the clouds, and she can't help but feel breathless whenever they touch.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet exploration of a complicated relationship with excellent vocals from Ariana Grande and a great rap verse from Iggy Azalea.

Uh huh, it's Iggy Iggz
The song features Iggy Azalea
I got one more problem with you girl
I still have one issue left with you
Hey, baby even though I hate ya
Despite my distaste for you
I wanna love ya
I want to feel affection towards you
I want you
I desire your companionship
And even though I can't forgive ya
Although I cannot pardon you
I really want to
I truly wish to forgive you
Tell me, tell me, baby
Communicate with me
Why can't you leave me
Why are you unable to depart from me
'Cause even though I shouldn't want it
Despite the fact I should not desire this
I gotta have it
I must have it
Head in the clouds
Distracted or not focused on reality
Got no weight on my shoulders
Feeling unburdened or carefree
I should be wiser
I ought to be more intelligent
And realize that I've got
Acknowledge that I have
One less problem without ya
My life is less complicated without you
I know you're never gonna wake up
I am aware you will never change
I gotta give up
I need to let go
But it's you
But my feelings linger for you
I know I shouldn't ever call back
I realize I should not contact you again
Or let you come back
Or allow you to return
Every time you touch me
When you come into contact with me
And say you love me
And express affection towards me
I get a little bit breathless
I become slightly short of breath
I shouldn't want it
I should not yearn for this
But it's you
But it's still you
What you got?
What are you bringing to the table?
Smart money bettin', I'll be better off without you
Intelligent people would wager that I'd be happier without you
In no time, I'll be forgettin' all about you
Soon, I'll have no memory of you
You saying that you know
You profess to be aware
But I really, really doubt you
But I strongly question that
Understand my life is easy
Comprehend that my life is simple
When I ain't around you
When I'm not in your company
Iggy Iggy, too biggie to be here stressing
Iggy Azalea is too famous to be worried about this situation
I'm thinking I love the thought of you
I believe I am in love with the idea of you
More than I love your presence
More than I love being with you
And the best thing now
And currently, the best option
Is probably for you to exit
Is most likely for you to leave
I let you go, let you back
I have allowed you to depart and then come back
I finally learned my lesson
I ultimately learned from my mistakes
No half-stepping
Do not be indecisive
Either you want it or you just playin'
Either you truly desire this or you are only pretending
I'm listening to you knowin'
I am hearing what you say, but I do not believe it
I can't believe what you're sayin'
I find it difficult to accept what you're telling me
There's a million you's baby boo
There are countless people like you
So don't be dumb
Do not be foolish
I got ninety-nine problems
I have numerous difficulties in my life
But you won't be one
But you will not be among them
Head in the clouds
Distracted or not focused on reality
Got no weight on my shoulders
Feeling unburdened or carefree
One less problem without ya
My life is less complicated without you

Hey! I don't know who will ever see this, but I care about you. Just so you know, you are absolutely freaking perfect! God did not create you to be perfect, BUT you are perfect in your own special way! I don't really know who you are or if you even care what I am saying, but I just want you to know I love you, brother/sister in Christ! God loves you in sooooooo many ways, and he has a plan for you. I don't know what you are going through, but make sure that you try to be the best person you possibly can. You got this. If you are dealing with heartbreak or depression, know that God is right here and wants to talk to you and help you. You are strong and will get through this. I know everything might not be the brightest right now, but you will see light soon & people are here for you.

You got this. If you are struggling with toxic friendships or relationships, I want you to know you are strong. You might be scared to be in this, but I believe in you. I am so sorry for you. A quote to help: "When God delivers you from evil, don't keep in touch with it." - somewhere in the Bible. You got this. If you need healing in your life: I hope that you can get through this. God loves you. He won't do anything bad to you and has a plan to get you put off a mess. Not everything seems great right now, but one way or another, God will give you peace in the end.

If you have gone through insecurities: you are beautiful the way you are. God, a perfect man, made you in his image. If you weren't beautiful, God would not have done that. You aren't "too fat", you aren't "too skinny", and you aren't "too perfect". You don't have an ugly face. You don't have ugly legs, an ugly nose, or ugly arms. You aren't flat. You are honestly beautiful, and those who do not see that you are beautiful are honestly not smart. A quote to help: Psalm 55:22 - Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. You got this. If you are dealing with bullies: it is honestly easier said than done, but don't let the haters get to you. If they think that of you, know that they are in the wrong. I don't care what they say about you, but you deserve the world. Hurt people hurt people. It is really true that they do it. I know it isn't an excuse, but it is true. A quote to help: (Rom. 12:19). Instead, respond to your bully with kindness and love. You got this. I honestly can't think of many other things that people struggle with. I don't think that I could write about all the problems people face. And if I didn't talk about your problem, I am sorry. Have a good day/ night. You are amazing in your own way. Whatever you are going through, God is here for you and wants to talk to you and wants to hear you talk to him. God loves you .🫠Bye!
