* Solo version

**[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]**

I'm a motherfuckin' train wreck

I don't wanna be too much

But I don't wanna miss your touch

And you don't seem to give a fuck

I don't wanna keep you waiting

But I do just what I have to do

And I might not be the one for you

But you ain't allowed to have no boo

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

'Cause I know we be so complicated

But we be so smitten, it's crazy

I can't have what I want, but neither can you

**[Chorus: Ariana Grande]**

You ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend)

And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend)

But you don't want me to see nobody else

And I don't want you to see nobody

But you ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend)

And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend)

But you don't want me to touch nobody else

Baby, we ain't gotta tell nobody

**[Verse 2: Mikey]**

Even though you ain't mine, I promise the way we fight

Make me honestly feel like we just in love

'Cause, baby, when push comes to shove

Damn, baby, I'm a train wreck, too (Too)

I lose my mind when it comes to you

I take time with the ones I choose

And I don't want a smile if it ain't from you, yeah

**[Pre-Chorus: Mikey]**

I know we be so complicated

Lovin' you sometimes drive me crazy

'Cause I can't have what I want and neither can you

**[Chorus: Ariana Grande]**

You ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend)

And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend)

But you don't want me to see nobody else

And I don't want you to see nobody

But you ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend)

And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend)

But you don't want me to touch nobody else

Baby, we ain't gotta tell nobody

**[Verse 3: Scootie and Ariana Grande]**

I wanna kiss you (Yeah), don't wanna miss you (Yeah)

But I can't be with you 'cause I got issues

Yeah, on the surface, seem like it's easy

Careful with words, but it's still hard to read me

Stress high when the trust low (Mmm)

Bad vibes, where'd the fun go? (Oh)

Try to open up and love more (Love more)

Try to open up and love more

**[Bridge: Scootie and Ariana Grande]**

If you were my boyfriend

And you were my girlfriend

I prolly wouldn't see nobody else

But I can't guarantee that by myself

**[Chorus: Ariana Grande]**

You ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend, you ain't my boyfriend)

And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend, I ain't your girlfriend)

But you don't want me to see nobody else (Nobody)

And I don't want you to see nobody

But you ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend, you know you ain't my boyfriend)

And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend, yeah, mmm)

But you don't want me to touch nobody else (Nobody)

Baby, we ain't gotta tell nobody (Oh yeah)

You ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend)

And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend)

But you don't want me to see nobody else

And I don't want you to see nobody

But you ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend)

And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend, yeah)

But you don't want me to touch nobody else (Nobody)

Baby, we ain't gotta tell nobody

**[Verse 1]**

And I might not be the one for you

But you ain't allowed to have no boo

But you don't want me to see nobody else

And I don't want you to see nobody

And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend)

But you don't want me to touch nobody else

Baby, we ain't gotta tell nobody
