[Intro: "Video" Sample]
No matter what I'm wearing, I will always be
India.Arie
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be, yeah
And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me, mmm
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I'm loving what I see
Hey, oh woah, baby

[Intro: Aaron Simon Gross & Ariana Grande]
Hi, my name is Kathy Najimy
And this album is for sophisticated consumers of art
Three and a half hours
What I was going to say is
Goodbye for now, the show's over, bye

[Verse 1]
Thought I'd end up with Sean
But he wasn't a match
Wrote some songs about Ricky
Now I listen and laugh
Even almost got married
And for Pete, I'm so thankful
Wish I could say, "Thank you" to Malcolm
'Cause he was an angel

[Pre-Chorus]
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
Say, loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
Look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say

[Chorus]
(Thank you, next [Next])
(Thank you, next [Next])
(Thank you, next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
(Thank you, next [Next])
(Thank you, next [Next])
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin'—

[Verse 2]
Spend more time with my friends
I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Plus, I met someone else
We havin' better discussions
I know they say I move on too fast
But this one gon' last
'Cause her name is Ari
And I'm so good with that (So good with that)

[Pre-Chorus]
She taught me love (Love)
She taught me patience (Patience)
How she handles pain (Pain)
That shit's amazing (Yeah, she's amazing)
Said, loved and I've lost (Yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (Yeah, yeah)
Look what I've found (Yeah, yeah)
No need for searching, and for that, I say

[Chorus]
(Thank you, next) Thank you, next
(Thank you, next) Thank you, next
(Thank you, next) Sing
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
(Thank you, next) Said thank you, next
(Thank you, next) Said thank you, next
(Thank you, next) Yee
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex

[Post-Chorus]
Here we go
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(I'm so fuckin'—)

[Bridge]
One day I'll walk down the aisle
Holding hands with my mama
I wanna shout my mom and dad who are both here tonight
Everybody make some noise for my mom and dad
Gon' make that shit last
God forbid something happens
Least this song is a smash (Song is a smash)

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got so much (Love) Love
(Got so much patience) Patience
(I've learned from the pain) Hey, yeah
(I turned out amazing) Turned out amazing
(Say I've loved and I've lost) I've lost
But that's not what I see
Look what I've found (Yeah, yeah)
No need for searching
Let's go

[Chorus]
(Thank you, next [Thank you, next])
(Thank you, next [Thank you, next])
(Thank you, next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
(Thank you, next) Thank you, next
(Thank you, next) Said thank you, next
(Thank you, next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex

[Post-Chorus]
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Yeah, yee)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Yeah, yee)

[Spoken]
New York, I love you, thank you so much
Have a good night, I love you
I'll see y'all tomorrow, peace

[Outro]
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)

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.
