(Oh, yeah)
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
Somethin’ ’bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn’t
Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout
Nothing to prove and I’m bulletproof and
Know what I’m doing
The way we’re movin’
Like introducing us to a new thing
I wanna savor, save it for later
The taste, the flavor, ’cause I’m a taker, ’cause I’m a giver
It’s only nature, I live for danger
All that you got
Skin to skin, oh my God
Don’t ya stop, boy (Oh, yeah)
Somethin’ ’bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn’t
Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout you
All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath, like that
You know how I’m feeling inside
(Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout)
All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath, like that
You know how I’m feeling inside
(Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout)
(Mmm-hmm) (Ooh-ooh)
Somethin’ ’bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout you (Eh-eh)
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn’t (Yeah)
Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout you (Yeah)
All girls wanna be like that (Hmm-mmm)
Bad girls underneath like that
You know how I’m feeling inside
(You know how I’m feeling inside, baby)
(Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout)
All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath like that
You know how I’m feeling inside
(Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout)
Yeah, there’s somethin’ ’bout you, boy (Heh)
Yeah, there’s somethin’ ’bout you, boy (Oh-oh-oh, hey)
Yeah, there’s somethin’ ’bout you, boy
Yeah, there’s somethin’ ’bout you, boy
(Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout you)
Yeah, there’s somethin’ ’bout you, boy
Yeah, there’s somethin’ ’bout you, boy
(Yeah, there’s somethin’ ’bout you, boy)
Yeah, there’s somethin’ ’bout you, boy
(Yeah, there’s somethin’ ’bout you, boy, oh, yeah)
(Somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout, somethin’ ’bout) You
Exploring Confidence and Sensuality
“Dangerous Woman” by Ariana Grande is an empowering anthem that captures the transformative energy of self-assurance and desire. The lyrics revolve around a woman embracing her power, unapologetically pushing boundaries, and reveling in the thrill of newfound confidence. Grande’s sultry vocals and evocative language convey the feeling of being emboldened by love or attraction—so much so that it inspires risk and boldness. The recurring phrase, “somethin’ ’bout you,” underscores how a particular connection can spark a more daring, uninhibited side. The song celebrates feminine strength, suggesting that beneath the surface, every woman has a “dangerous” edge waiting to be unleashed.
