[Intro: Shangela Laquifa Wadley]
This is one small step for woman
One giant leap for woman-kind

[Verse 1]
I'd rather be alone tonight
You can say "I love you" through the phone tonight
Really don't wanna be in your arms tonight
I'll just use my covers to stay warm tonight
Think I'm better off here all alone tonight
Ain't no checkin' on when I get home tonight
Just makin' sure I'm good on my own tonight
Even though there isn't nothin' wrong tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm just sayin', baby
I can't really miss you if I'm with you
And when I miss you, it'll change the way I (Kiss you)
Baby, you know time apart is beneficial
It's like I'm the universe and you be (N-A-S-A)

[Chorus]
Give you the whole world, I'ma need space
I'ma need space (I'ma, I'ma need)
You know I'm a star; space (I'ma need space), yeah
(I'ma need space) Sing (I'ma, I'ma need space [N-A-S-A])
Give you the whole world, I'ma need space
I'ma need space (I'ma, I'ma need)
You know I'm a star; space (I'ma need space), yeah
(I'ma need space) Woo (I'ma, I'ma need space [N-A-S-A])

[Verse 2]
Bottom line
Usually, I would love it if you stayed the night
I just think I'm on another page tonight
It ain't nothing wrong with saying I need me time
Usually, I would orbit around you
But gravity seems to be the only thing that's pulling me
You'll be my rise and shine soon as them stars align
Ah yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't really miss you if I'm with you
And when I miss you, it'll change the way I (Kiss you)
Baby, you know time apart is beneficial
It's like I'm the universe, New York (N-A-S-A)

[Chorus]
Give you the whole world, I'ma need space
I'ma need space (I'ma, I'ma need)
You know I'm a star; space (I'ma need space), yee
(I'ma need space) Sing (I'ma, I'ma need space [N-A-S-A])
Give you the whole world, I'ma need space
(I'ma need space) I'ma, I'ma need
You know I'm a star (Space, I'ma need space), yeah, baby
(I'ma need space) Yee (I'ma, I'ma need space [N-A-S-A])

[Bridge]
Keep me in your orbit and you know you'll drag me under
Ah yeah
You don't wanna leave me, but I'm tryna self-discover
(You don't wanna leave me, but I'm tryna self-discover)
Keep me in your orbit and you know you'll drag me under, baby
(Keep me in your orbit and you know you'll drag me under)

[Outro]
I'd rather be alone tonight
Listen, Cory, I love you
But you can say "I love you" through the phone tonight
Oh woah, hey
Nah, yeah, yeah

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande (born Grande-Butera on June 26, 1993) is an actress and a pop vocalist from Boca-Raton, Florida. She had performed in many plays as a child but didn’t make a significant dent in her dream to become an R&B star until being cast as a cheerleader in the Broadway musical 13, earning a National Youth Theatre Association Award for her performance.

Soon after, she was able to land a role in the Nickelodeon hit TV series, Victorious, which propelled her to become a teen idol as her on-screen character seemed to be “very impressionable and easily swayed” but “generally sweet.” From this point on, she was able to garner the fan base that allowed her to create tracks that worked only towards the promotion of the show, like “Put Your Hearts Up.”

She would have to wait until August 2012 to see the cancellation of Victorious, which allowed Grande to finally make music her priority. With her life now revolving entirely around this passion, she was able to release her debut album, Yours the result of a three-year endeavor. She completed the album, initially titled Daydreamin, in June 2013; it was released on August 19, 2013. In September 2013, it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, with 138,000 copies sold in its first week, making Grande the first female artist since Ke$ha to have her first album debut atop the charts.
