[Intro: Meghan Trainor & Nicki Minaj]
Nice to meet ya (Mm, ooh)
Nice to meet ya (Ooh)
Nice to meet ya (Meghan Trainor)
Nice to meet ya (Let's go)

[Verse 1: Meghan Trainor]
I used my makeup to hide (Hide)
Tellin' you there ain't nothin' I haven't tried (Tried)
Changed my hair, but I couldn't change up my mind (My-my-my mind)
You know I've been tryna work it (Yeah, yeah)
You know ain't nobody perfect (Yeah, yeah)
Go ahead, go talk about me (Me)
You don't know the half of the shit that I've seen (I've seen)
Go ahead and tell them whatever you heard (What you heard)
I look different on the surface (Yeah, yeah)
You know ain't nobody perfect (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
I am blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be
I don't know you, but
I am blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be
I don't know you, but I'm just what I wanna be

[Post-Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya

[Verse 2: Meghan Trainor]
I used to care way too much (Much)
Filtered myself, I thought I wasn't enough (Enough)
Now I'm givin' myself nothin' but love (But l-l-love)
'Cause I know that I am worth it (Yeah, yeah)
I know ain't nobody perfect (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
I am blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be
I don't know you, but
I am blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be (What I wanna be)
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be (Yeah)
I don't know you, but I'm just what I wanna be

[Post-Chorus: Meghan Trainor & Nicki Minaj]
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya, rrrr

[Verse 3: Nicki Minaj]
Who you gon' call when you ain't got the, uh?
Me and Meghan run up in the spot like, uh
I pop off 'cause I am the reigning champ
Please no comparisons 'cause you know they can't
Had to cut the grass, there was snakes in the camp
They know I'm the billy, I be laughin'
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
One minute, I'm nice, the next, a monster
My guest house alone cost like three tickets
And that Rolls truck and that paint job real wicked
Used to dumb, dumb myself down for these chickens
Now when dumb-dumb talk, I smile, it be crickets
Boom, I turn every head when I walk in the room
Pretty in real life, hit my pics with the zoom
A ten when they rate her like tomb
Elevator to the penthouse, we ain't stoppin' anytime soon

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Oh, yeah
Blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be (Oh)
I don't know you, but I'm just what I wanna be

[Post-Chorus: Meghan Trainor, Both & Nicki Minaj]
Nice to meet ya (Ah, ah, ah)
Nice to meet ya (Oh, mm)
Nice to meet ya (Oh, ooh)
Nice to meet ya

Translations

What has Meghan say about Nicki's verse?

On the Billboard News‘ YouTube channel, Meghan stated about the collaboration:

Never saw it coming, that’s like my top list of like, I don’t know if I’ll ever work with like Bruno Mars and Rihanna and Nicki Minaj….it’s my favorite Nicki verse ever, she’s a monster in it.

What did Meghan Trainor say about "Nice to Meet Ya"?

On how Meghan Trainor knew it would become a single:

I knew that this was going to be a single, ‘cause I brought it into the label as a rough demo, which you don’t do. That’s rule number one. You don’t do that. And I did it, and was like, “Just hear past this demo.” And all of Epic Records was like, “Oh my God, this one.” And I was like, “I knew it was good!” Like, I knew this is the flame that I need. And it’s kind of like a relative to my song “No,” you know what I mean?"

On Nicki Minaj becoming a feature on the song:

The special part about this song … is that it is featuring Nicki Minaj. And that’s like [sings] the coolest thing of all times! I’m so lame! Dude! I got Nicki Minaj! And I’ve worshipped her since I was, like, what, in middle school? Like, I love her. I love her talent. She’s actually the most talented songwriter, I feel like, especially a woman in this hip-hop world. Like, her lyrics! There’s so many talented artists, but the way Nicki brings the quirkiness and brings the “I’m a boss and let me explain why in full detail.” Like, she put this phrase in this song, that… like she took this to an “I’m a boss” level. Like, this song was just, “I’m really confident and this is who I am!” And she was like, “No, I run a company and I’m the CEO and I’m a boss, and that’s how Meghan is too.” And I was like, “Yep, we in this together!” [Laughs] … And it turns the song into a whole different level. It’s just like the coolest thing. I can’t believe she did that for me. That was really awesome to be supported like that by awesome legends."
