You'll Never Know
Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now you finally tell me how you feel
Guess your words just came a little too late
All the drama boy it's overkill
Don't be mad at me 'cause you been replaced,
Know your place

But if you woul'da manned up,
Put your hand up, stand up, tell me how you really felt
Then maybe it'd be different
If you spoke I would've listened, but now I'm with somebody else
And he loves me, too much for me to mess this up
And it sucks to be all in your head
Wondering, where this thing could go, but

You will never know (oh oh)
What we could have been
If you would've shown (oh oh)
Your way back then
Boy you gotta (yep, yep)
Boy you shoulda (yep, yep) but you didn't know, so
Now you'll never know
You'll never know

Now it's probably hard for you to hear
But there's nothing left for you to say
Had my heart all in your hands
Boy, but you don't understand
Is a girl like me don't have no time to waste around

But if you woul'da manned up,
Put your hand up, stand up, tell me how you really felt
Then maybe it'd be different
If you spoke I would've listened, but now I'm with somebody else
And he loves me, too much for me to mess this up
And it sucks to be all in your head
Wondering, where this thing could go, but

You will never know (oh oh)
What we could have been
If you would've shown (If you would've shown)
Your way back then
Boy you gotta (yep, yep)
Boy you shoulda (yep, yep) but you didn't know, so
Now you'll never know
You'll never know

You'll never know
Boy you should've told me, told me
You'll never know
Boy you should've let me know
You'll never know
Boy you could've been there for me, but now you'll never know
You'll never know

It's not my fault
You're a little bit too late
You're the only one to blame
Wipe that look off your face
You can wish a thousand times, but
None of that will change my mind boy
You had a chance you'll never get back (get back uh uh-uh)

You will never know (What we could have been)
If you would've shown (If you would've shown me)
Your way back then (way back then baby)
Boy you gotta (yep, yep)
Boy you shoulda (yep, yep) 'cause you didn't know, so
Now you'll never know
Oh baby

You'll never know
Boy you could've told me told me
You'll never know
Boy you could've let me know
You'll never know
Boy you could've been there for me, but now you'll never know

You'll never know (You'll never know)
No no no no you'll never know oh babe
(You'll never know)
No




(You'll never know) yeah
You'll never know

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
