Sweet but Psycho lyrics By Ava Max

Ava Max said in an interview with JAMS 96.3,

The track is about a girl who is misunderstood in a relationship. She thinks she’s going out of her mind and psycho. But in reality, she’s just a strong, independent female. In the end, the guy loves all of her sides – sweet, psycho (as he likes to call it).

A music video for the song was released on August 27, 2018. It was directed by Bengali-American filmmaker Shomi Patwary. Ava Max said in the same interview that it takes the song to a crazy place because of her love of theatrics.

Ava Max appeared on Genius’ series Verified to explain the meaning of the song.

“Sweet but Psycho” peaked at #1 in 12 countries, including the UK. After spending several weeks on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100, it went up to #87 in the last week of December. It peaked at #37 as of the week ending January 19.

[Intro]
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”

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
No, no
You’ll play alo-o-ong, let her lead you o-o-on
You’ll be saying, “No, no”
Then saying, “Yes, yes, yes,” ’cause she messin’ with your head

[Chorus]
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”

[Verse 2]
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
She tastes so sweet, don’t sugarcoat it”

[Pre-Chorus]
No, no
You’ll play alo-o-ong, let her lead you o-o-on
You’ll be saying, “No (No, no, no), no (No)”
Then saying, “Yes, yes, yes,” ’cause she messin’ with your head

[Chorus]
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”

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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”
