Lyrics of thank u, next by Ariana Grande

verse

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
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
Say I′ve loved and I′ve lost
But that's not what I see
So, look what I got
Look at what you taught me
And for that, I say

chorus

Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I′m so grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
I'm so

verse

Spend more time with my friends
I ain′t worried 'bout nothin′
Plus, I met someone else
We're 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)
She handles pain (pain)
That amazing (yeah, she′s amazing)
I've loved and I′ve lost (yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (yeah, yeah)
′Cause look what I've found (yeah, yeah)
Ain't 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 (thank you)
I′m so grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (said thank you, next)
Thank you, next (next)
I′m so grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so

verse

One day I′ll walk down the aisle
Holding hands with my mama
I'll be thanking my dad
′Cause she grew from the drama
Only wanna do it once, real bad
Gon' make that 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 (pain)
I turned out amazing (turned out amazing)
I've loved and I′ve lost (yeah, yeah)
But that′s not what I see (yeah, yeah)
'Cause look what I′ve found (yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching
And for that, I′ll say

chorus

Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next
I'm so grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (said thank you, next)
Thank you, next (next)
I′m so grateful for my ex

outro

Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Yeah, yee
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Yeah, yee
