In her latest single, Ariana Grande sings about how her new partner gives her the confidence to try new experiences.
This week's Karaoke Korner takes a look at definitions of words used in the lyrics.
"Dangerous Woman"
By Ariana Grande
Don't need permission
Made my decision to test my limits
'Cause it's my business
God as my witness
Start what I finished
Don't need no hold up
Taking control of this kind of moment
I'm locked and loaded
Completely focused
My mind is open
All that you got, skin to skin
Oh my God
Don't you stop, boy
Chorus
Something about you makes me
Feel like a dangerous woman
Something about, something about
Something about you
Makes me wanna do things
That I shouldn't
Something about, something about
Something about
Nothing to prove
And I'm bulletproof
And know what I'm doing
The way we're moving like introducing
Us to a new thing
I wanna savour, save it for later
The taste of flavour, cause I'm a taker
Cause I'm a giver, it's only nature
I live for danger
(Chorus)
All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath, like that
You know how I'm feeling inside
Something about, something about
(Chorus)
