[English]

One minute I'm happy, then I'm sad

I get angry, then relax

I go from chaos into self-control

It's one of my side effects (ha)

And you seem like a real nice guy

And I don't wanna treat you bad

So before you get a taste of me

Let me hit you with the recipe, yeah, yeah

I go a little OTT with the OCD

All my exes say that I'm crazy

I'ma check your phone while you're half asleep

Maybe God was high when he made me

'Cause I OD on the jealousy, got a PhD in anxiety

So, before you get in too deep

There's a couple things you should know about me

I'm cuckoo, cuckoo

A little cuckoo, cuckoo

Feel a little cuckoo, cuckoo

There's a couple things you should-

A little bit of this, a bit of that

I'm just laying down the facts

I'll give it all, I'll give you everything

But you better watch your back (but you better watch your back)

And you seem like a real nice guy

And I don't wanna treat you bad

So before you get a taste of me

Let me hit you with the recipe, yeah, yeah

I go a little OTT with the OCD

All my exes say that I'm crazy

I'ma check your phone while you're half asleep

Maybe God was high when he made me

'Cause I OD on the jealousy, got a PhD in anxiety

So, before you get in too deep

There's a couple things you should know about me

I'm cuckoo, cuckoo

A little cuckoo, cuckoo

Feel a little cuckoo, cuckoo

There's a couple things you should know about, know about me

...

There's a couple things you should know about me, I'm-

...

There's a couple things you should know about me

...
