Text / En / Lyrics: Ariana Grande - Position (2021)
Heaven sent you to me
I'm just hoping I don't repeat history
Boy I'm tryna meet your mama
On a Sunday
Then make a lotta love
On a Monday (Ah, ah)
Never need no (No)
No one else, babe
'Cause I'll be
Switching them positions for you
Cooking in the kitchen and I'm in the bedroom
I'm in the Olympics way I'm jumping through hoops
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn't do
That I won't do, switching for you
Perfect, perfect
You're too good to be true (You're too good to be true)
But I get tired of running
Fuck it, now I'm running with you (with you)
Said boy I'm tryna meet your mama
On a Sunday
Then make a lotta love
On a Monday (Ah, ah)
Never need no (No)
No one else babe
'Cause I'll be
Switching them positions for you
Cooking in the kitchen and I'm in the bedroom
I'm in the Olympics way I'm jumping through hoops
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn't do
That I won't do, switching for you
Cooking in the kitchen and I'm in the bedroom
I'm in the Olympics way I'm jumping through hoops
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn't do (nothing)
That I won't do, switching for you
This some shit that I
Usually don't do (Yeah)
But for you I kinda
Kinda want to
'Cause you're down for me
And I'm down too
(And I'm down too)
Yeah I'm down too
Switching them positions for you
This some shit that I (Yeah)
Usually don't do (Don't do)
But for you I kinda
Kinda want to
'Cause you're down for me
And I'm down too
('Cause you're down for me)
Switching them positions for you
Cooking in the kitchen and I'm in the bedroom
I'm in the Olympics way I'm jumping through hoops (Jumping, jumping)
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn't do
That I won't do, switching for you (Ooh whoa)
Cooking in the kitchen and I'm in the bedroom
I'm in the Olympics way I'm jumping through hoops
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn't do (I wouldn't do)
That I won't do, switching for you
