Belladonna Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forgive me for making you wait up for me
I'll pull you in like the waves of the sea
I promise
Yeah, I promise
It's hard to forget me, just wait and you'll see
I cannot help it, it comes naturally
If I'm honest
I'm never honest

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll be screaming out my name
Cursing me for getting oh so close
Didn't mean to cause no pain
But it's just out of my control, oh boy
And you're better off on your own
Uh, yeah

[Chorus]
Belladonna, belladonna, belladonna, belladonna
Poisonous, contagious, get you high in my cabana
Belladonna, belladonna, belladonna, belladonna
Dangerous, addictive
, don't come here unless you wanna
Belladonna, belladonna
Belladonna
[Verse 2]
Uh, sweet like a flower at the beginning
But nothing is ever the way that it seems

But I like it
I can't deny it
Soon as I'm done, I just get up and leave
I swear I don't do it intentionally
I can't help it
A little selfish, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll be screaming out my name (Oh)
Cursing me for getting oh so close
Didn't mean to cause no pain (Oh)
But it's just out of my control, oh boy
And you're better off on your own

[Chorus]
Belladonna, belladonna, belladonna, belladonna (Yeah, oh, yes)
Poisonous, contagious, get you high in my cabana
Belladonna, belladonna, belladonna, belladonna (Oh, yes)
Dangerous, addictive, don't come here unless you wanna
Belladonna, belladonna
Belladonna


[Outro]
Oh (Let's go)
Oh
Ooh, ooh
Oh (Belladonna)
Oh (Belladonna)
(Belladonna)

Genius Annotation

Belladonna is the third song on the “Side B: Hell” side of Ava Max’s debut album, indicated by the track-list mistakenly put on image of the cassette tape from the official merch website before being taken down at a later point in time.

On September 17th, 2020, Max released a snippet of “Belladonna” on her social media platforms in anticipation for her debut studio album

Belladonna is used to describe a beautiful lady, but also may refer to the belladonna plant. This plant was used by women in Renaissance Italy to enlarge their pupils. While this may of seemed a good idea, it contains a poisonous chemical which could lead to blurred vision, red skin, fevers and a fast heartbeat.
