[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell Williams]
When life deals us cards (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Make everything taste like it is salt (Sweetener, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Then you come through like the sweetener you are (Sweetener, hey, hey, hey, the sweetener, hey)
To bring the bitter taste to a halt (Hey, hey, sweetener, hey, hey, hey)
(And then you) Let's go

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell Williams]
(Get it, get it, get it, get it, ayy)
(Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it) Yee
(Flip it, flip it, flip it)
You make me say oh (Sheesh), oh baby (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 baby (Sheesh)

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande & Pharrell Williams]
I like the way you lick the bowl (You lick the bowl, sheesh)
Somehow your method touches (Sheesh) my soul (Touches my soul, yeah)
It lifts me up to heights unknown, babe
So when they ask, "How's life?" (Sheesh) I go (Sheesh)

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell Williams]
When life deals us cards (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Make everything taste like it is salt (Sweetener, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Then you come through like the sweetener you are (Sweetener, hey, hey, hey, the sweetener, hey)
To bring the bitter taste to a halt (Hey, hey, sweetener, hey, hey, hey)
(And then you) Yuh

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell Williams]
(Get it, get it, get it, get it) Yee
(Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it) Oh, baby
(Flip it, flip it, flip it)
You make me say oh (Sheesh), oh babe, yeah (Sheesh)
(Twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it)
Mix it and mix it and mix it and mix, yeah
(Kiss it, kiss it, kiss it)
You make me say oh, oh

[Bridge: Ariana Grande & Pharrell Williams]
And then we lay it back, oh shit, talk the rest of the night, okay
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, babe, yee, yeah
Ayy, said I don't know what I'd do without you in my life
It'd be so sour (Sweetener, hey)
I'm hoping that everybody can experience what we have in ours

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell Williams]
Life deals us cards (Hey, oh)
Everything tastes like it is salt (Sheesh, sheesh)
Then you come through like the sweetener you are (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
To bring the bitter taste to a halt (Hey, hey, hey)
(And then you) Ooh, baby

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Pharrell Williams]
(Get it, get it, get it, get it) Yeah
(Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it) Shee
(Flip it, flip it, flip it)
You make me say oh (Sheesh), oh babe (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) You make me say, oh

[Outro: Ariana Grande]
Ooh yeah
Uh, oh yeah
No, yeah
Oh, oh yeah
Oh yeah, baby
Hey, yeah
Oh yeah, baby

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande (born Grande-Butera on June 26, 1993) is an actress and a pop vocalist from Boca-Raton, Florida. She had performed in many plays as a child but didn’t make a significant dent in her dream to become an R&B star until being cast as a cheerleader in the Broadway musical 13, earning a National Youth Theatre Association Award for her performance.

Soon after, she was able to land a role in the Nickelodeon hit TV series, Victorious, which propelled her to become a teen idol as her on-screen character seemed to be “very impressionable and easily swayed” but “generally sweet.” From this point on, she was able to garner the fan base that allowed her to create tracks that worked only towards the promotion of the show, like “Put Your Hearts Up.”

She would have to wait until August 2012 to see the cancellation of Victorious, which allowed Grande to finally make music her priority. With her life now revolving entirely around this passion, she was able to release her debut album, Yours the result of a three-year endeavor. She completed the album, initially titled Daydreamin, in June 2013; it was released on August 19, 2013. In September 2013, it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, with 138,000 copies sold in its first week, making Grande the first female artist since Ke$ha to have her first album debut atop the charts.
