thank u, next (live) Lyrics

[Intro: "Video" Sample]
No matter what I'm wearing, I will always be
India.Arie
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be, yeah
And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me, mmm
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I'm loving what I see
Hey, oh woah, baby


[Intro: Aaron Simon Gross & Ariana Grande]
Hi, my name is Kathy Najimy
And this album is for sophisticated consumers of art
Three and a half hours

What I was going to say is
Goodbye for now, the show's over, bye


[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
Say, loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
Look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say

[Chorus]
(Thank you, next [Next])
(Thank you, next [Next])
(Thank you, next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
(Thank you, next [Next])
(Thank you, next [Next])
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin'—

[Verse 2]
Spend more time with my friends
I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Plus, I met someone else
We 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)
How she handles pain (Pain)
That shit's amazing (Yeah, she's amazing)
Said, loved and I've lost (Yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (Yeah, yeah)
Look what I've found (Yeah, yeah)
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) Sing
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
(Thank you, next) Said thank you, next
(Thank you, next) Said thank you, next
(Thank you, next) Yee
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex

[Post-Chorus]
New York
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(I'm so fuckin'—)
[Bridge]
One day I'll walk down the aisle
Holding hands with my mama
I wanna shout my mom and dad who are both here tonight
Everybody make some noise for my mom and dad
Gon' make that shit 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) Hey, yeah
(I turned out amazing) Turned out amazing
(Say I've loved and I've lost) I've lost
But that's not what I see
Look what I've found (Yeah, yeah)
No need for searching
Let's go

[Chorus]
(Thank you, next [Thank you, next])
(Thank you, next [Thank you, next])
(Thank you, next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
(Thank you, next) Thank you, next
(Thank you, next) Said thank you, next
(Thank you, next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex

[Post-Chorus]
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Yeah, yee)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Yeah, yee)

[Spoken]
New York, I love you, thank you so much
Have a good night, I love you
I'll see y'all tomorrow, peace


[Outro]
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Thank you, next)
(Yeah)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
