SONGS WITH 'THANK': 'THANK U, NEXT' BY ARIANA GRANDE: meaning and examples

Hello and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin, everyone! How was your weekend?

This week, the United States celebrates Thanksgiving. (In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated the second Monday of October.) That is why our theme is Songs with THANK.

Each day, we will look at a song that has the word THANK in the lyrics. Today we are starting with Ariana Grande's song Thank U, Next. The title of this song is a slang expression suggesting that someone gives gratitude to someone for the time they spent together, but then chooses to move on with their life and not spend more time with this person. 

Below are the lyrics. You can listen to the song at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUme0h-uPP4

Have a great day!

Thank U, Next
Thought I'd end up with Sean
But he wasn't a match
Wrote some songs about Ricky
Now I listen and laugh
Even almost got married
And for Pete, I'm so thankful
Wish I could say, "Thank you" to Malcolm
'Cause he was an angel

One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
So, look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say

[chorus]
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I'm so [*****] grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
I'm so  [*****]

Spend more time with my friends
I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Plus, I met someone else
We havin' better discussions
I know they say I move on too fast
But this one gon' last
'Cause her name is Ari
And I'm so good with that (so good with that)

She taught me love (love)
She taught me patience (patience)
How she handles pain (pain)
That shit's amazing (yeah, she's amazing)
I've loved and I've lost (yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (yeah, yeah)
'Cause look what I've found (yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching, and for that, I say

[chorus]

One day I'll walk down the aisle
Holding hands with my mama
I'll be thanking my dad
'Cause she grew from the drama
Only wanna do it once, real bad
Gon' make that shit last
God forbid something happens
Least this song is a smash (song is a smash)

I've got so much love (love)
Got so much patience (patience)
I've learned from the pain (pain)
I turned out amazing (turned out amazing)
I've loved and I've lost (yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (yeah, yeah)
'Cause look what I've found (yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching
And for that, I'll say

[chorus]

Yeah, yee
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Yeah, yee
