Milk & Cookies
Payday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I seen you around

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

Overall Meaning

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.
