Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep me warm and nothing else
Nothing more important
Makes me wanna believe in love (mmm)
I love the thought of us in the evening
Crave the feeling
The way you feel, something 'bout it's healing
Others that I've had, had to impress me before
But I knew you were the real thing when you walked through the door
I didn't think that I would have to spell it out
Don't put the bands, put the bands on me
Oh, my love, oh, my love is free
Ain't no price on my loyalty
No shit, got me right where you want me, baby
Could I be more obvious? (ooh)
Hard to think when I'm under you
Tell you all of my dirty truths
No shit, got me right where you want me, baby
Could I be more obvious?
Maybe if I'm lucky, you might stay the afternoon
If you gotta work, just promise me you'll come back soon
Maybe you should pack a suitcase, too (too)
I love the thought of you never leaving (no)
Days repeating
Getting steps up on the treadmill while you're sleeping
Never thought I'd believe in love again
Others that I've had, had to impress me before (ooh)
But I knew you were the real thing when you walked through the door
I didn't think that I would have to spell it out
Don't put the bands, put the bands on me
Oh, my love, oh, my love is free
Ain't no price on my loyalty
No shit, got me right where you want me, baby
Could I be more obvious? (Ooh)
Hard to think when I'm under you
Tell you all of my dirty truths
No shit, got me right where you want me, baby
Could I be more obvious?
Obvious
The lyrics to Ariana Grande’s song “obvious” describe the intense love and devotion she feels towards a partner who has entered her life. The first two lines express her love for the taste of her partner in the morning, implying not only a physical attraction but also a deep affection for everything about them. She mentions that nothing is more important than this feeling, and the love she feels makes her want to believe in love again. In the second verse, she expresses her desire to be with her partner in the evening, craving the feeling and healing that comes with being in their presence. She prays that they don’t mess it up and ruin what they have.
The pre-chorus implies that Ariana Grande has had past relationships where the other person had to impress her, but with this partner, she knew from the moment they walked through the door that they were the real thing. In the chorus, she mentions that her love is free, and she has no price on her loyalty. She acknowledges that her partner has her right where they want her, and she couldn't be more obvious about it. The bridge expresses her hopes that her partner will stay with her for a more extended period, even suggesting they pack a suitcase to stay longer.

I love the taste of you in the morning
Keep me warm and
Nothing else, nothing more important
Makes me want to believe in love (hmm)
I love the thought of us in the evening
Crave the feeling
The way you feel, something ‘bout it’s healing
I’m praying we don’t fuck this up (ooh, baby)
Others that I’ve had
Had to impress me before
But I knew you were the real thing
When you walked through that door
I didn’t think that I would have to spell it out
Don’t but the bands, put the bands on me
Oh my love, oh my love is free
Ain't no price on my loyalty
No shit, got me right where you want me
Baby, could I be more obvious?
Ooh, hard to think when I’m under you
Tell you all of my dirty truths
