These are the lyrics to Bebe Rexha’s “Meant to Be,” so you can sing along with her during the 2018 ACM Awards
If you’ve listened to the radio for even just five minutes over the past month, you’ve probably heard the crossover hit, “Meant to Be,” by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line. The song is indisputably a bop, and the lyrics are super catchy. But, even though the song isn’t nominated for any awards at the Academy of Country Music Awardson Sunday, April 15th, Rexha and Florida Georgia Line will still take to the stage to perform the single, and it’s likely that everyone watching the awards show will be wondering what the exact lyrics to “Meant to Be” are, so they can jam out and impress their friends with their mad skills.
And honestly, who could blame anyone for wanting to rock out to “Meant to Be” — during the 2018 ACM Awards, and otherwise?
It’s a hit, and it’s a hit for a reason. “Meant to Be” is catchy, and the lyrics convey that if a relationship is meant to be, it will be. It’s the Que Sera, Sera of songs, and, as Billboard put it, “Its piano hook is EDM, its alternately snapping and skittering beat is hip-hop, its vocal twang is country and its chorus is smooth pop-soul.”
Without further ado, here are the lyrics to “Meant to Be,” ahead of the 2018 ACM Awards:
Verse 1: Florida Georgia Line
Baby, lay on back and relax/ Kick your pretty feet up on my dash/ No need to go nowhere fast/ Let's enjoy right here where we at
Pre-Chorus: Florida Georgia Line
Who knows where this road is supposed to lead?/ We got nothing but time/ As long as you're right here next to me, everything's gonna be alright
Chorus: Florida Georgia Line
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be/ Baby, just let it be/ If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be/ Baby, just let it be/ So won't you ride with me, ride with me? / See where this thing goes/ If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be/ Baby, if it's meant to be
Verse 2: Bebe Rexha
I don't mean to be so uptight/ But my heart's been hurt a couple times by a couple guys that didn't treat me right/ I ain't gon' lie, ain't gon' lie/ Cause I'm tired of the fake love, show me what you're made of/ Boy, make me believe
Pre-Chorus: Florida Georgia Line
Oh, hold up girl, don't you know you're beautiful?/ And it's easy to see
Chorus: Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be/ Baby, just let it be/ If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be/ Baby just let it be/ So won't you ride with me, ride with me?/ See where this thing goes/ If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be/ Baby, if it's meant to be/ So c'mon ride with me,/ ride with me/ See where this thing goes/ So c'mon ride with me, ride with me/ Baby, if it's meant to be
Bridge: Bebe Rexha (Florida Georgia Line) {Both}:
(Maybe we do)/ Maybe we don't/ (Maybe we will)/ {Maybe we won't}
Chorus: Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line
But if it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be/ Baby, just let it be/ If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be (c'mon)/ Baby, just let it be (let's go) So won't you ride with me, ride with me?/ See where this thing goes/ If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be/ Baby, if it's meant to be
Outro: Bebe Rexha (Florida Georgia Line) {Both}
(If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be)/ {Baby, if it's meant to be}/ (If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be)/ {Baby, if it's meant to be}
