[Verse 1]
The future me I haven’t met
There’s some things you might regret
Like giving up on love too fast
Chasing shadows from your past
Future me I haven’t met
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s gonna be some pain
It’s …
Do you have the time
To listen to me why
About nothing and everything, all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
[?] no doubt about it
[Chrous]
Sometimes I give myself the queens
Sometimes my …
[Chorus]
Fuck my life, can’t say that girl
Don’t tell me you can save that shit
All she want is payback for the way I always play that shit
You ain’t getting nothing, now …
[Intro]
Oh, you deal with
[Verse 1]
From the moment you was dancing in the party, pushing all on me
Giving everything, you’re giving everything tonight
And if you thought you could get away from …
[Chorus]
I done seen you glow like that I must say that I’m proud
Thinkin bout the times when you would go into my house, hey
Had to let you go like that …
I was a liar
I gave into the fire1
I know I should’ve fought it2
At least I’m being honest
Feel like a failure
‘Cause I know that I failed you
I should’ve done you better
‘Cause you don’t want a liar (come on)3
And I know, and I know, and I know
She gives you everything but boy I couldn’t give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything
But I got nothing here without you4
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home5
One more time
I promise after that, I’ll let you go
Baby I don’t care if you got hurt in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms6
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
I don’t deserve it
I know I don’t deserve it7
But stay with me a minute
I’ll swear I’ll make it worth it8
Can’t you forgive me
At least just temporarily
I know that this is my fault
I should have been more careful (come on)9
And I know, and I know, and I know
She gives you everything but boy I couldn’t give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything
But I got nothing here without you baby
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise after that, I’ll let you go
Baby I don’t care if you got hurt in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
I know I shouldn’t fight it
At least I’m being honest
Just stay with me a minute
I swear I’ll make it worth it
‘Cause I don’t want to be without you10
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise after that, I’ll let you go
Baby I don’t care if you got hurt in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home11

This song is about how she cheated, got caught, and now her old lover has moved on and she wants him back.

That is a good summary of the song’s meaning, Max. This just reaffirms the fact that what goes around, comes around – you do something bad like cheat, and it will eventually bite you in the butt.
Caren
this song is about dealing with the rigors of love. What else could it be? Kidding aside, in “One Last Time”, Ariana Grande is asking for one last night with an ex-boyfriend even though the guy has already moved on and has found her replacement. While she does not expect the guy to go back to her, she seeks some kind of redemption of sorts to perhaps heal the wounds from her rocky relationship that ended.
I know my ex boyfriend will feel the same way soon.. Haha. So sad, I have happily moved on.. 🙂
