Let's go
[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Missy Elliott]
Baby, I just want you to be mine (Woo)

[Verse 3: Missy Elliott]
Uh, I'm like, you got me so on a chase
Got me feelin' so out of place
Think 'bout you all of my days
Wish you'd chew on me like fresh grapes
Not tryna cuff you or crowd your space
I'm tryna find cute words just to say
"Dang, you fine, and look at that face"
At the borderline, beside me, you lay (Woo)
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Baby, I just want you to be mine, mm
