Ava Max Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little bit psycho
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
Oh, she's hot but a psycho
So left but she's right though
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
She'll make you curse, but she a blessing
She'll rip your shirt within a second
You'll be coming back, back for seconds
With your plate, you just can't help it
No, no, you'll play along
Let her lead you o-, o-, on
You'll be saying, "No, no"
Then saying, "Yes, yes, yes"
'Cause she messin' with your head
Oh, she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
Oh, she's hot but a psycho
So left but she's right though
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
Grab a cop gun kinda crazy
She's poison but tasty
Yeah, people say, "Run, don't walk away"
'Cause she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
See, someone said, "Don't drink her potions"
She'll kiss your neck with no emotion
When she's mean, you know you love it
'Cause she tastes so sweet, don't sugarcoat it
No, no, you'll play along
Let her lead you o-, o-, on
You'll be saying, "No (no, no, no, no), no (no, no)"
Then saying, "Yes, yes, yes"
'Cause she messin' with your head
Oh, she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
Oh, she's hot but a psycho
So left but she's right though
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
Grab a cop gun kinda crazy
She's poison but tasty
Yeah, people say, "Run, don't walk away"
'Cause she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
You're just like me, you're out your mind
I know it's strange, we're both the crazy kind
You're tellin' me that I'm insane
Boy, don't pretend that you don't love the pain
Oh, she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
Oh, she's hot but a psycho
So left but she's right though

Ava Max's hit song "Sweet but Psycho" is about a woman who is both sweet and crazy. The song seems to suggest that the woman in question has a lot of different sides to her, and that she can be both loving and aggressive. The song describes the woman as being a little bit psycho, but also very hot and attractive. Despite her craziness, she is described as being a blessing and something that the singer cannot resist.
The lyrics suggest that the woman is manipulating the singer, and that she enjoys messing with his head. The line "She'll make you curse, but she a blessing" seems to suggest that even though the singer is frustrated by the woman's behavior, he can't help but be attracted to her. The chorus of the song emphasizes this, with the repeated line "Oh, she's sweet but a psycho".
The verses of the song suggest that the woman in question is also dangerous, with lines like "Grab a cop gun kinda crazy, she's poison but tasty". However, the song also seems to suggest that the singer is just as crazy as she is. The final verse of the song says, "You're just like me, you're out your mind, I know it's strange, we're both the crazy kind", implying that the singer is just as unhinged as the woman he is singing about.
