And they can't find something to satisfy me, ugh
Mmm, yeah, yuh
Even though you're bad for me, I know
You're the one that I'm thinkin'
Got me feelin' so incredible
Would you mind maybe linkin'?
Love me, love me, baby
Are you down? Can you let me know?
Love me, thank you, leave me
Put it down, then it's time to go
Get it like you love me
But you don't, boy, it's just for show
Take it or leave it, you gotta take it or leave it, like uh
Don't want you in my bloodline, yuh
Just wanna have a good time, yuh
Ain't no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this shit go
Don't want you in my bloodline, yuh
Not tryna make you all mine, yuh
Ain't no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this shit go, yeah

In Ariana Grande's song Bloodline, she sings about a hedonistic approach to love and relationships. She admits that she knows the person she's involved with is bad for her, but she can't help but allow them into her life. Ariana discusses how she's searching for something to fulfill her, but nothing seems to quite do the trick. She's merely looking for a good time, with no desire for any lasting attachment. Ariana acknowledges that even though she loves this person, their relationship will never be serious, and they will "never be talking the next day."
The chorus, "Don't want you in my bloodline, yuh. Just wanna have a good time, yuh," shows that she's looking for a purely physical connection with this person and doesn't want to have any emotional tie to them. The phrase 'bloodline' is used here as a metaphor for the type of connection that runs deep and is typically used to describe family ties. By saying she doesn't want this person in her bloodline, Ariana Grande is making it clear that she doesn't want to have anything to do with them beyond their short-term fling.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of knowing your own needs and desires in a relationship and being honest with yourself and your partner about what those are. It also showcases Ariana Grande's confidence and assertiveness, as she's willing to stand up for herself and what she wants, even if it means walking away from someone she cares about.

Because I'm trying to do the best I can
I am doing my best but nothing satisfies me
Even though you're bad for me, I know

You are on my mind and make me feel amazing,
Would you mind maybe linkin'?
Could we spend some time together?
Love me, love me, baby
Show me some affection,
Are you down? Can you let me know?
Are you interested? Please tell me
Love me, thank you, leave me
Love and then leave me,
Put it down, then it's time to go
Once we are done, we must leave
Get it like you love me
Act like you love me

Yeah, that ship sailed away
That opportunity has passed
Say I know what you want, what you want from me
I know what you desire from me
I know what you think, what you think you see
I know what you perceive in me
I know what you looking for, but I'm complete
I understand what you seek, but I don't lack anything
I know what you need, but it won't be me
I can tell what you require, but I can't provide it
Not tryna make you all mine, yuh
I do not want to fully possess you,
Woo
Expression of excitement
