Lyrics

[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 blessin'
She'll rip your shirt within a second
You'll be comin' 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 sayin', "No, no"
Then sayin', "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 sayin', "No (No, no, no), no (No)"
Then sayin', "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
Oh, a little bit psycho
At night, she's screamin', "I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
