Wait a minute, let me take you there (Oh)

Back, back seat of my car (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute, let me take you there (Oh)
Wait a minute 'til you (Oh, hey!)

[Ariana Grande:]

Kitten so good, it's dripping on wood, get a ride in the engine that could go
Batman, robbin' it, bang, bang, cockin' it, Queen Nicki dominant, prominent
It's me, Jessie, and Ari, if they test me, they sorry
Ride his uh like a Harley then pull off in his Ferrari
If he hangin', we bangin', phone rangin', he slangin'
It ain't karaoke night, but get the mic, 'cause I'm singin'
