Ariana Grande (Cover) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got one more problem with you girl
Aye
Baby even though I hate ya
I wanna love ya
I want you you you
And even though I can't forgive ya
I want you you 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 you 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 you you
I know I shouldn't ever call back
Or let you come back
But it's you you 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 you 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
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 boy
So don't be dumb
I got 99 problems
But you won't be one
Like what!
One less, one less problem
One less, one less problem
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
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
The lyrics to Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea's "Problem" describe a toxic relationship that the singer can't seem to let go of. She acknowledges that she shouldn't want this person, who has caused her pain, but she can't help but still desire them. The repetition of "I want you" and "it's you you you" emphasize how difficult it is for her to let go. Despite knowing that she needs to move on, she finds herself breathless and unable to resist when this person touches her and says they love her. The pre-chorus ("Head in the clouds, got no weight on my shoulders") highlights how she is lost in her emotions for this person and recognizes that she needs to be wiser and realize that she has one less problem without them.
In the chorus, the singer declares that she now has one less problem without this person in her life. She repeats this phrase several times, emphasizing how her life is better without them. In Iggy Azalea's verse, she adds another layer to the song by expressing that she will be better off without this person, betting on herself and her own strength to move forward. She also acknowledges that there are many others like this person and that she has learned her lesson not to let them back into her life.
Overall, the chorus of "One less problem without ya" is a catchy and memorable hook, but when the context of the lyrics are examined, it is clear that the song is about a difficult and painful relationship. The lyrics show that letting go of someone who has caused us pain is easier said than done, but ultimately it is necessary for our own well-being.
