Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm such a freak, yeah, I love the way she hates it
She says I'm a waste of time and I think she might be right (yeah)
Even if I end up fucking famous, she'd say I'm overrated
What did I do this time, mamacita?
Did it cross your mind that I'm no good for you
I've realized you overanalyze everything I do
Looks like
She's over me, says I'm overrated
I'm such a freak, I love the way she hates it
She says I'm a waste of time and I think she might be right (yeah)
Even if I end up fucking famous, she'd say I'm overrated
Yeah, I've been thinking 'bout this all day lately
And I don't blame you if you really hate me
Been thinking 'bout all the dirty things
All the filthy things we do behind closed doors
I can see how it's getting to your head (to your head)
But I'm just out here tryna make some bread
I thought that we were fine and you were mine, but
She's over me, says I'm overrated
I'm such a freak, I love the way she hates it
She says I'm a waste of time and I think she might be right (yeah)
Even if I end up fucking famous, she'd say I'm overrated
She's over me, says I'm overrated
I'm such a freak, yeah, I love the way she hates it
She says I'm a waste of time and I think she might be right (yeah)
Even if I end up fucking famous, she'd say I'm overrated
She'd say I'm overrated, yeah

The singer thinks he is not good enough for her, and the girl agrees with him. She considers him a “waste of time,” and the singer believes that she might be right. However, he hints at his desire to maintain a relationship with her by calling her “mamacita” and implying that he was trying to make things right. In the end, the man comes to terms with the fact that the relationship is over and that the girl has moved on.

I'm glad I got to see you guys before you got too big. One of the best concerts I've been to. Now you have permission to get huge. Definitely deserve it. I hear Ramon Ayala on the radio ALL the time here in Boise.

Man growing up I was so pissed that I missed the glory days of bands I liked. I used to think it would be so cool to find a band before they got huge and go to all the local shows. This band is making that dream come true for me!
