[Intro]
Mu-Mu-Mu-Murda

[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 that's in your arms
I admit it's exciting, parts of me kinda 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, yeah)

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
I could call bullshit out from a mile away (Don’t say)
You want me if you can keep comin' back for me
Might 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 you see me tryin', subliminally tryin’
To see if you'll be the one in my arms
Well I can admit that it's tirin', but at times it's excitin'
And before you lead me 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 sport 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
But 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 sugarcoat a lie (Yeah)
Say what you want, I needed a real 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)
So 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)

[Bridge: Ariana Grande]
Said it's M-A-D-O-N-N-A
I need the guys to get away
[?]
No matter what the people say
[?]
Even though that you lied (You lie)
Even though that you hold me (You hold me)
Ain't it something [?] mine? (You know)
[?] hold me
[?] (You don't)
It ain't nothing you mine (Yeah)
It ain't nothing you told me
And before I lead you down, gonna, wanna, [?]

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Baby, tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
So tell me, what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
Baby, tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
So tell me, what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
Baby, tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
So tell me, what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
[Outro: Loleatta Holloway]
You got me burnin'
You got me burnin'
