Goodnight N Go

The song draws heavy inspiration from Imogen Heap’s “Goodnight and Go.”, appropriating it for Sweetener by modifying the production and some lyrics. Ariana has stated on Instagram that Imogen was one of her primary inspirations as an artist, and made her who she is today.

[Verse] Tell me why you gotta look at me that way You know what it does to me So baby, what you tryna say? Ayy Lately, all I want is you on top of me You know where your hands should be So baby, won't you come show me? Mmm I got you, I got you dreamin' (Ahh) You close your eyes and you're screamin' (Ahh) Play with your mind for no reason I know you love how I tease it (Ahh-ah) You know that I'm playin', so don't be mistaken You already know what I'm thinkin', boy [Pre-Chorus] Oh, why'd you have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you, woah Why must you make me laugh so much? It's bad enough we get along so well [Chorus] Just say goodnight and go Ohh, ohh, ohh Just say goodnight and go Ohh, ohh, ohh Just say goodnight and go [Bridge] One of these days You'll miss your train and come stay with me (It's always say goodnight and go) We'll have drinks and talk about things And any excuse to stay awake with you And you'd sleep here, I'd sleep there But then the heating may be down again (At my convenience) We'd be good, we'd be great together [Pre-Chorus] Why'd you have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you, woah Why must you make me laugh so much? It's bad enough we get along so well [Chorus] Just say goodnight and go Ohh, ohh, ohh Just say goodnight and go Ohh, ohh, ohh [Post-Chorus] I know how you want it, baby, just like this Know you're thinkin' 'bout it, baby, just one kiss While you're lookin' at 'em, baby, read my lips I know what you want, but you can't have this [Outro] Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Wanna say goodnight Honey, say goodnight and go Wanna say goodnight Baby, say goodnight and go Wanna say goodnight Say goodnight and go
