Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
Say you could turn me on
Boy, but that's about it
You can say what you wanna
But I wouldn't believe it
You could write all them songs
That's the game that you play
Tryna right all them wrongs
But you can't make me stay

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
'Cause I, see right through you, boy
And I, I ain't feeling you no more
I ain't feelin' you no more

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
If you knew better
Boy, you would do better
Can't nobody love you like I do
Baby, I could do better
Boy, if you knew better
You would do better
Baby, if you love me like I love you
Maybe we could be together

[Hook: Ariana Grande]
'Cause ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)
Ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)
Ain't nobody like me, ain't nobody like me
Ain't nobody like me
Ain't nobody like me
Ain't nobody like me, ain't nobody like me, baby

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
Make a mistake, you better learn from it
Play with tea, you get burned from it
My daddy always told me if he makes you cry, he ain't the one
You better run from it
Used to get to me mentally
I don't fuck with your energy
If you knew better, you would do better
But you don't know shit, so I'll do better
Got a new 'do, and some new shoes
Just to go with my new boo
Loving me like he used to
And I ain't even worried 'bout it this time
I know he gon' be the one to treat me just right
Never had a motherfucker this tight
So baby this is what your soulmate looks like
I look good, right? Damn

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
If you knew better
Boy, you would do better
Can't nobody love you like I do
Baby, I could do better
Boy, if you knew better (if you knew)
You would do better
Baby, if you love me like I love you
Maybe we could be together

[Hook: Ariana Grande]
'Cause ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)
Ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)
Ain't nobody like me, ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)
Ain't nobody like me (sheesh)
Ain't nobody like me (ain't nobody like me)
Ain't nobody like me, ain't nobody like me, baby
(Ain't nobody like me)
(Ain't nobody like me, me)
(Ain't nobody like me, aye)
