motive lyrics

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]

Tell me why I get this feeling

That you really wanna turn me on

Tell me why I get this feeling

That you really wanna make me yours, ah

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]

'Cause I see you tryin', subliminally tryin'

To see if I'm gon' be the one to sing along

I admit it's exciting, parts of me gonna like it

But before I lead you on

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]

Baby, tell me, what's your motive? (Motive)

What's your motive?

What's your motive? (Ah)

So tell me, what's your motive? (Motive)

What's your motive?

What's your motive? (Ah)

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]

I could call bullshit all from a mile away (Don't say)

You want me if you can't keep comin' back for me

I'd have to curve you if you just can't talk straight (Just say)

Say what you mean 'cause you might get it

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]

'Cause I see you tryin', subliminally tryin'

To see if I'm gon' be the one to sing along

I admit it's exciting, parts of me gonna like it

But before I lead you on

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Doja Cat]

Tell me, what's your motive?

What's your motive?

What's your motive? (Ah)

So tell me, what's your motive?

What's your motive?

What's your motive? (Ayy, yeah, yeah, ayy, ah)

[Verse 3: Doja Cat]

You treat me like gold, baby

Now you wanna spoil me

Did you want a trophy or you wanna spoil me, baby?

Want me on your neck 'cause you wanted respect

'Cause you fightin' some war, baby

Well, I had to bring the fists out, had to put a wall up

I don't trust phonies, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You gotta tell me, what's your motive, baby?

'Cause you got your candy (Yeah) on your arm (Yeah)

No need to sugar coat our lies (Yeah)

Say what you want, I need it, I'm a bonafide G (Come on)

Can you promise me you'll bring it all tonight? (Give it to me)

'Cause I need you to be wise

Tell me everything that's on your mind, come on

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Doja Cat]

Baby, tell me what's your motive? (Tell me, baby)

What's your motive? (What's your motive?)

What's your motive? (What's your motive?, ah)

Said tell me, what's your motive? (Better tell me, baby)

What's your motive? (What's your motive?; Better tell me, baby)

What's your motive? (Yeah, ayy, ah)
