Sober (Version 1) Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah, hey

[Verse]
You can light me up, anytime you want
If I let you touch, you gon' be
Addicted to my love, I'm your only drug
Can never have too much, so baby you can

[Pre-Chorus]
Puff it, sip it, mhm yeah
Blow it, hold it, kiss me now
Baby when I'm with you I'm wasted

[Chorus]
It's like we're not sober, when you come closer
Boy I know, you know, that I'm tryna quit
But it's way too lit
I’m not sober, when you come closer
Boy, I know, I know you've been tryna quit
But you love this shit, oh yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

“Sober” is an unreleased song which was intended for Ariana Grande’s fourth album, Sweetener.

Ariana shared a few snippets of the song for the first time through Snapchat with a the deer filter on September 9, 2016.

On May 30, 2018, Grande confirmed that “Sober”, along with another unreleased track titled “My Way”, would not appear on the album as they weren’t meaningful enough:

the ones i took off were taken off bc i wasn’t ready to let y’all know what was going on in my life. my way and sober were frivolous lil bops. cute but didn’t mean enough to me to be on this project.
