Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

[Verse 2: John Legend with Ariana Grande]
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

[Chorus: Ariana Grande with John Legend, John Legend]
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
And ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey
Ah, yeah
Ooooooh
Oh

[Chorus: Ariana Grande with John Legend, John Legend]
Ever just the same, oh
And ever a surprise, yeah
Ever as before
And ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3: Ariana Grande with John Legend]
Tale as old as time, ah, ah, ayy
Tune as old as song, oh, woah
Bitter-sweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong, oh

[Verse 4: John Legend & Ariana Grande, John Legend with Ariana Grande]
Certain as the sun
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

[Outro: John Legend & Ariana Grande, John Legend with Ariana Grande]
Mmmm
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
Oh
Oh, yeah, babe
Beauty and
And the
Beauty and the Beast
