A/N: A while ago I did "Baby I" by Ariana Grande by request, but I didn't like the song, so I did a parody instead. But I wanted to a played-straight song by her as well, since she's not a bad artist at all, and I was struck by how perfectly "One Last Time" translates into a Bowser x Peach tune, so here we are again. But rather than making Bowser nothing but a sad suitor, I made sure to mix in some questionably lyrics highlighting that what he does to and about her is not okay – it makes it more interesting, imho, and I hope you like it too!


One Last Time (Or Else)


I am a liar
I always cause a fire
You know I'll always fight him
In that I'm being honest
Feel like a failure
'Cause I know that I lost you
I should've done much better
Why do you want that plumber?

And I know, and I know, and I know
He saves you every time
But Peach, I can't just give up on ya
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything
But I got nothing here without ya

So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise I will never let you go
Peach I don't care if his death will break your heart
All I really care is you stay here in my arms
One last time
I will soon be the one who takes you home

I don't deserve it
But soon I will deserve it
So stay with me forever
I swear I'll beat that plumber
Can't you forgive me?
And not just temporar'ly
I know that this is my fault
I should've killed him sooner

And I know, and I know, and I know
He's saved you every time
But, Peach, I won't just give up on ya
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything
But I got nothing here without you, Princess

So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise I won't have to let you go
Peach I don't care if his loss will break your heart
All I really care is you stay here in my arms
One last time
I will soon be the one who takes you home

You know I'll always fight him
Come on now, let's be honest
Just stay with me forever
So I won't have to hurt him, Princess
'Cause I refuse to be without ya

So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise I won't ever let you go
Peach I don't care if his blood will break your heart
All I really care is you stay here in my arms
One last time
I will soon be the one who takes you home
(Yeah)

One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
