[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

When life deals us cards (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Make everything taste like it is salt (Ayy, ooh, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Then you come through like the sweetener you are (Ayy, sweetener, ayy, ayy, ayy)

To bring the bitter taste to a halt (Ayy, sweetener, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

And then you get it, get it, get it, get it (Ayy)

Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it (Ayy)

Flip it, flip it, flip it

You make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!)

Twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it

Mix it, and mix it, and mix it, and mix it

Kiss it, kiss it, kiss it

You make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!)

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

I like the way (Way) you lick the bowl (You lick the bowl, sheesh)

Somehow your method touches (Sheesh!) my soul (Sheesh, touches my soul, yeah)

It lifts me up (Up) to heights unknown (Ayy, sweetener, sweetener, sweetener, sweetener, sweetener)

So when they ask, "How's life?" (Sheesh!) I go (Sheesh!)

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

When life deals us cards (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Make everything taste like it is salt (Ayy, ooh, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Then you come through like the sweetener you are (Ayy, sweetener, ayy, ayy, ayy)

To bring the bitter taste to a halt (Ayy, sweetener, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

And then you get it, get it, get it, get it (Ayy)

Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it (Ayy)

Flip it, flip it, flip it

You make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!)

Twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it

Mix it, and mix it, and mix it, and mix it

Kiss it, kiss it, kiss it

You make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!)

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande, Pharrell & Both]

Your mama sent (Sent) us horoscopes (Us horoscopes, sheesh)

Had so much fun (Fun) watching them unfold (Sheesh, watching them unfold, yeah)

You said she like me, I smile (Ayy), I know (Sweetener, sweetener, sweetener, sweetener, sweetener)

So when they ask, "How’s life?" (Sheesh!) I go (Sheesh!)

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

When life deals us cards (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Make everything taste like it is salt (Ayy, ooh, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Then you come through like the sweetener you are (Ayy, sweetener, ayy, ayy, ayy)

To bring the bitter taste to a halt (Ayy, sweetener, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

And then you get it, get it, get it, get it (Ayy)

Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it (Ayy)

Flip it, flip it, flip it

You make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!)

Twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it

Mix it, and mix it, and mix it, and mix it

Kiss it, kiss it, kiss it

You make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!)

[Bridge: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

And then we lay it back, talk the rest of the night

Things that we can light make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!)

Talking 'bout what you wanna do, whether it's wrong or right

I am followin’ you 'cause you make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!)

(Hey) Said I don't know what I'd do without you in my life (ayy), it'd be so sour (Sweetener, ayy)

I'm hoping that everybody can experience what we have in ours (Sweetener, sweetener, ayy, ayy, ayy, sweetener, ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

When life deals us cards (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Make everything taste like it is salt (Sheesh, sheesh!)

Then you come through like the sweetener you are (Ayy, sweetener, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

To bring the bitter taste to a halt (Sheesh, sheesh!)

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell]

And then you get it, get it, get it, get it (Ayy)

Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it (Ayy)

Flip it, flip it, flip it

You make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!, c'mon)

Twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it

Mix it, and mix it, and mix it, and mix it (Yeah)

Kiss it, kiss it, kiss it (Sweetener, sweetener, sweetener, sweet)

You make me say, "Oh," (Sheesh!) "Oh" (Sheesh!)

You make me say, "Oh," babe

[Outro: Ariana Grande]

Hey, ayy, oh, yeah
