## Lyrics

* Official
* 2 Chainz remix

**[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]**

(Yeah)

Breakfast at Tiffany's and bottles of bubbles

Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble

Lashes and diamonds, ATM machines

Buy myself all of my favorite things (Yee)

Been through some bad shit, I should be a sad bitch

Who woulda thought it'd turn me to a savage?

Rather be tied up with calls and not strings

Write my own checks like I write what I sing, yeah

**[Pre-Chorus 1: Ariana Grande]**

Yeah

My wrist, stop watchin', my neck is flossin'

Make big deposits, my gloss is poppin'

You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it

I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it (Yeah)

**[Chorus: Ariana Grande]**

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it

**[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]**

Wearing a ring, but ain't gon' be no "Mrs."

Bought matching diamonds for six of my bitches

I'd rather spoil all my friends with my riches

Think retail therapy my new addiction

Whoever said money can't solve your problems

Must not have had enough money to solve 'em

They say, "Which one?" I say, "Nah, I want all of 'em"

Happiness is the same price as red-bottoms, mmm

I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it (Yep)

**[Bridge: Y/N]**

Yeah, my receipts be lookin' like phone numbers

If it ain't money, then wrong number

Black card is my business card

The way it be settin' the tone for me

I don't mean to brag, but I be like, "Put it in the bag," yeah

When you see them racks, they stacked up like my ass, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Shoot, go from the store to the booth

Make it all back in one loop

Gimme the loot

Never mind, I got the juice

Nothin' but net when we shoot

Look at my neck, look at my jet

Ain't got enough money to pay me respect

Ain't no budget when I'm on the set

If I like it, then that's what I get, yeah

**[Chorus: Y/N]**

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it (Oh, yeah)

I'm from the streets, baby, I'm nothing like them (Tru)

She's sweet in the day, but freaky when night come (Tell 'em)

It's mine, invested (Uh); I spend it on necklace (Uh)

I got the cash if I don't get credit (Uh)

And I'm well respected so she feel protected

So scratch all the exes (Ex), it's next like contestants (Woo)

It's blessings, no stressing, no flexing

Got one car parked right in the entrance

Got one car parked right at the exit

See, you didn't expect this, you think like a robot

I put bands in yo face like botox (Yeah)

**[Chorus: Ariana Grande]**

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it (Oh, yeah)
