Milk & Cookies
Payday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And always thought that you was lame
but you kinda’ cute
In an awkward and charming way
Type a teen to keep a ruler all up in the backpack
You a nerd that l would probably laugh at
And maybe even pick on
But lowkey you you the only one I’m tryna’ kiss on
Fogging up yo’ glasses
Then making yo’ ass get gone
Dropping your books
Like a god damn sitcom
please don’t tell your friends about me
We can keep this on the lowkey
Milk and cookies when you teach me
How to study
Do you love me ?
you could be the milk
To my cookies
don’t know if you will
But you should be
You’re a buzzkill
And I’m a bully
I’m the big dog
And you’re a rookie
Spittin’ spitballs at you
I’m relentless
jumping off a bridge
Only did it cuz’ my friends did
Hearts by your name
Now you on my best friends list
Maybe you could help me
Get up out detention
rose colored lenses
Maybe ima’ need some
I can’t even think straight
You know ima’ think dumb
Vandalize the classroom
I was writing red rum
Chew you up and spit you out
Baby you my bubblegum
The lyrics of Payday's song "Milk & Cookies" paint a picture of a high school romance that starts off with the singer underestimating and poking fun at their love interest. The singer initially sees the person they're interested in as "lame," but admits that they are "kinda' cute" in their own unique and endearing way. The song captures the dynamic of a shy, nerdy individual who carries a ruler in their backpack and wears glasses, potentially making them a target for teasing.
However, as the song progresses, the singer reveals their growing attraction to this person, admitting they are the only one they want to be intimate with. There is a sense of vulnerability as they express their desire to kiss their love interest, causing them to get flustered and fog up their glasses. The singer hints at a playful and lighthearted relationship, joking about dropping books like a sitcom skit.
Keeping their relationship a secret becomes important to the singer, as they urge their love interest not to tell their friends about them. They want to keep their connection on the down-low. The lyrics also feature a metaphorical comparison between the love interest being the "milk" to the singer's "cookies." The singer expresses uncertainty about whether the love interest feels the same way, highlighting the contrasting personalities of the two characters. The singer is portrayed as the tough, dominant figure (the "big dog"), while the love interest is seen as inexperienced and new to relationships (the "rookie").
Overall, "Milk & Cookies" captures the complexities and uncertainties of high school romance, showcasing the growth and transformation of feelings from initial teasing and underestimation to a desire for a hidden, passionate connection.
