[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
I'll play the villain if you need me to
I know how this goes, yeah
I'll be the one you pay to see play the scene
Roll the cameras, please

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Turnin' like a dime (Dime), wastin' all their time
Sneakin' like a creep in the night
But I'll play whatever part you need me to
Mm

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized (Fantasized) 'bout you and I
This is a true story about all the games
I know you play

[Build: Ariana Grande]
No, this is not what I need (Gimme love, love, gimme love)
Not what I want (Gimme love, love, gimme love)
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love, lo-love
Gimme love, gimme love, love
No, this is not what I need (Gimme love, love, gimme love)
Not what I want (Gimme love, love, gimme love)
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love, lo-love
Gimme love, gimme love, love
Love, love, lo-love
[Drop: Alicia Keys & Ariana Grande]
Watchin' and wonderin' about you
No, this is not what I need (Gimme love, love, gimme love)
Not what I want (Gimme love, love, gimme love)
Ain't gonna happen to me, ooh
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love, lo-love
Gimme love, gimme love, love
No, this is not what I need (Gimme love, love, gimme love)
Not what I want (Gimme love, love, gimme love)
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love, lo-love
Gimme love, gimme love, love
Love, love, lo-love
