Lyrics

[Intro: Iyaz]
Ariana, oh yeah

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
Last night was crazy, and today it's settin' in
Did you really mean it and could you say it again? oh, oh
Even if you just say it over the phone (come on and make it real)
Love makes me crazy, restless, dumb, and paranoid
But I'll take a chance on us and hope you don't destroy my heart
Just give me one guarantee, I'm the only girl you see
Whatchu say, boy?

[Chorus: Iyaz]
You're my only shawty
You're my only shawty, yee yee yee
I'm tellin' you the truth
Girl, it's only you
You're my only, you're my only
You're my only one and only

You're my only shawty (am I your only shawty?)
You're my only shawty, yee yee yee (am I your only shawty?)
I'm tellin' you the truth (oh oh)
Girl, it's only you (oh oh)
You're my only, you're my only (am I your only shawty?)
You're my only, you're my only shawty

Every day and night, you got an open invitation
As long as I'm your one and only destination
Fly with me, I'll be your fantasy

You're in demand, but baby, baby so am I
But if you're weak and try to sneak, I'll have to tell you bye-bye
I'mma put you on the spot, am I your only girl or not?
What ya say, boy?

You're my only shawty
You're my only shawty, yee yee yee (am I your only)
I'm tellin' you truth
Girl, it's only you
You're my only, you're my only (am I your only)
You're my only one and only

You're my only shawty (am I your only shawty?)
You're my only shawty, yee yee yee (am I your only shawty?)
I'm tellin' you the truth (oh oh)
Girl, it's only you (oh oh)
You're my only, you're my only (am I your only shawty?)
You're my only, you're my only shawty

See yeah back in the day I was trapped in a daze
Trying to run game, but I've actually changed (Same old)
When I see you passing, the passionate flames
Simple interaction is all that I crave
I don't need to bring in all the attention
Girl, I need you, your love and affection.
Oh yeah, baby girl, did I mention?

You're my only shawty (am I your only shawty?)
You're my only shawty, yee yee yee (baby, come clean!)
I'm tellin' you the truth (oh oh)
Girl, it's only you (oh oh)
You're my only, you're my only (am I your only shawty?)
You're my only one and only

You're my only shawty (am I your only shawty?)
You're my only shawty, yee yee yee (am I your only shawty?)
I'm tellin' you the truth (oh oh)
Girl, it's only you (oh oh)
You're my only, you're my only (am I your only shawty?)
You're my only, you're my only shawty

Am I your only?
Am I your only?
Tell me, am I your only shawty? (yes, you are)
Why won't you say that (yes, you are)
Am I your only shawty?
