Lyrics
[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Missy Elliott]
Let's go!
Baby, I just want you to be mine (Woo)
Won't you give me a bit of your time? Oh, whoa
Chasin' you, no, I won't stop tryin'
Just meet me at the borderline (It's loose, woo)

You play hard-to-get
But I know you want me, too (Woo)
Ain't out here lookin' for other dudes
So I'ma keep it tight for you
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Missy Elliott]
You know I'm the wifey type, babe (Arrrrgh)
You know I be one of a kind, oh whoa
Once you tastin’ my ice cream, I bet you won't ever leave
I know it's hard to believe
Boy, you got me all on my knees
(Light it up, though, light it up, though)
Quit playin' too hard for me
(Light it up, though, light it up, though)
Stop playin' too hard for me
[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Missy Elliott]
Let's go!

Just meet me at the borderline (Wooooo)
[Verse 2: Ariana Grande & Missy Elliott]
Seems like I'm comin' on strong
But I don't want this time to pass (Woo)
I know you got a lot of chicks hollerin' at you
But I bet they cannot last (Arrgh)
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Missy Elliott]
You know I'm the wifey type, babe (Woo)
You know I be one of a kind, oh whoa (Let's go!)
Once you tastin’ my ice cream, I bet you won't ever leave (Woo)

[Verse 3: Missy Elliott]
Uh, I'm like, you got me so on a chase
Got me feeling so out of place
Think 'bout you all of my days
Wish you'd chew on me like fresh grapes
Not tryna cuff you or crowd your space
I'm tryna find you words just to say
"Dang, you fine, and look at that face"
At the borderline, beside me, you lay (Woo)
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Baby, I just want you to be mine
Won't you give me a bit of your time, oh woah
Chasin' you, no, I won't stop tryin'
Just meet me at the borderline
