Lyrics[]
[Intro: Justin Bieber]
What do you mean?
Ohh, ohh, ohh
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean?
Hey, yeah
When you don't want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
Ohh
What do you mean?
Said you're running out of time
What do you mean?
Ohh, ohh, ohh
What do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?
[Verse 1: Justin Bieber]
You're so indecisive of what I'm saying
Trying to catch the beat, make up your heart
Don't know if you're happy or complaining
Don't want for us to end, where do I start?
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
First you wanna go to the left then you want to turn right
Wanna argue all day, make it love all night
First you're up then you're down and then between
Ohh, I really want to know…
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
What do you mean?
Ohh, ohh, ohh
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean?
Hey, yeah
When you don't want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
Ohh
What do you mean?
Said you're running out of time
What do you mean?
Ohh, ohh, ohh
What do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?
[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
You're overprotective when I'm leaving
Trying to compromise but I can't win
You wanna make a point but you keep preaching
Had me from the start, don't let this end
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber with Ariana Grande, Ariana Grande]
First you wanna go to the left then you want to turn right
(Oh, woah)
Wanna argue all day, make it love all night
(Make it love all night)
First you're up then you're down and then between
(And then between, baby)
Ohh, I really want to know…
[Chorus: Justin Bieber with Ariana Grande, Ariana Grande]
What do you mean? (What do you mean?) (What do you mean?)
Ohh, ohh, ohh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no (Wanna say no)
What do you mean? (What do you mean?) (Ohh, what do you mean?)
Hey, yeah
When you don't want me to move
But you tell me to go (Go, what do you mean?)
What do you mean? (I want to know…)
Ohh
What do you mean? (Ooh)
Said you're running out of time
What do you mean? (What do you mean, baby?)
Ohh, ohh, ohh
What do you mean? (What do you mean?)
Better make up your mind
What do you mean? (What do you mean?) (What do you mean? Yeah)
[Outro: Justin Bieber with Ariana Grande, Ariana Grande]
Ohh, ohh, ohh (Don't be so selfish, baby, yeah)
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no (Wanna say no, what do you mean?) (Wanna say no, what do you mean?)
What do you mean? (You're so confusing, baby)
Hey, yeah (Baby)
When you don't want me to move (Hey)
But you tell me to go (Tell me to go)
What do you mean? (What do you mean?) (Ohh, be more straight forward)
Ohh (What do you mean?)
What do you mean? (Hey, ba-ba-ba) (Oooooh)
Said you're running out of time
What do you mean? (What do you mean, baby?) (Hey, ba-ba-ba)
Ohh, ohh, ohh
What do you mean? (What do you mean?)
Better make up your mind (Ooh, yeah) (Ba-ba-baby)
What do you mean? (What do you mean?)
