Don’t Call Me Angel
Ariana Grande Lyrics

Boy, don't call me angel
Please do not address me as an angel, boy.

You ain't got me right
You do not understand who I really am.

Don't call me angel
Again, please do not call me angel.

You can't pay my price
You cannot afford what it takes to be with me.

Ain't from no Heaven
I am not from any heavenly realm.

Yeah, you heard me right (yeah, you heard me)
I am absolutely serious (and I know you are listening).

Even though you know we fly (though you know we)
Even though you know we are superior (like angels),

Uh, don't call me angel when I'm a mess
Do not refer to me as an angel when I am struggling.

Don't call me angel when I get undressed
Do not refer to me as an angel when I am disrobed.

You know I, I don't like that, boy
You must know that I do not appreciate it when you call me angel.

Uh, I make my money, and I write the checks
I am successful on my own and I am in control of my finances.

So say my name with a little respect
When you address me, please use a respectful tone of voice.

All my girls successful, and you're just our guest
My female companions and I are all successful, and you are merely a visitor.

Do I really need to say it?
Do I need to state the obvious?

Do I need to say it again, yeah?
Should I repeat myself?

You better stop the sweet talk
Stop being overly charming or complimentary.

And keep your pretty mouth shut
Do not say anything else.

See you here with somebody
I notice that you are here with someone else.

You sizin' up my body, oh yeah
You seem to be scrutinizing my physique.

Don't you know that I bite when the sun set? Yeah
I am not as docile as you may think. I can be ferocious when provoked.

So don't you try come around me
Do not attempt to approach me.

Might work with her, but not me, oh yeah
Flattery may work on someone else, but it will not work on me.

Keep my name out your mouth
Do not mention my name.

I know what you about
I know your true intentions.

I appreciate the way you watch me, I can't lie
I am aware of how you observe me, and I must admit that it is flattering.

I drop it down, I pick it up, I back it off the county line
I am confident in my dancing abilities and I am not afraid to show them off.

I fell from Heaven, now I'm living like a devil
I may have been seen as a heavenly figure in the past, but now I am embracing a wilder lifestyle.

You can't get me off your mind
You cannot stop thinking about me.

Baby, I totally get it, you can't guess so
I understand why you are attracted to me, even if you do not.

We in it together, but don't call me angel
We may be involved with each other, but you still should not call me angel.
