[Verse 1]
My momma use to say
"Baby make me proud
You've got such a pretty face
But such a dirty mouth"
But how come when I tell you
What's on my mind like men do
I'm called crazy?
Crazy

[Pre-Chorus]
This is not a love song
This is not a sing along
But ladies, are you with me?
I know that you're with me

[Chorus]
Add a little sugar, they say
Be a little sweeter, they say
Gotta give and take, but I say
This time it's my way, ah, my way
Be a little proper, they say
Speak a little softer, they say
Gotta be a lady, but I say
This time it's my way, ah, my way
This time it's my way, ah, my way
This time it's my way, ah, my way

[Verse 2]
I'll do me
You do you
I don't need nobody's permission
I won't back down
Win or lose
Oh yeah, one and only limited edition (yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
This is not a love song
This is not a sing along
But ladies, are you with me?
I know that you're with me

[Chorus]
Add a little sugar, they say
Be a little sweeter, they say
Gotta give and take, but I say
This time it's my way, ah, my way
Be a little proper, they say
Speak a little softer, they say
Gotta be a lady, but I say
This time it's my way, ah, my way
(My way, my way, my way)

[Outro]
This time it's my way, ah, my way
This time it's my way, ah, my way
This time it's my way, ah, my way
This time it's my way, ah, my way

Ava Max

Coupling powerhouse vocals with simultaneously catchy and powerful songwriting, Ava Max is one of the fastest rising pop singers. Born Amanda Ava Koci on February 16, 1994 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Albanian immigrants, Max didn’t get her start in the music industry until 2017 with her feature on “Clap Your Hands”.

Before long, she scored her breakout hit through “Sweet but Psycho”, which reached number one on several music charts around the world before climbing into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
