99 Cent Store

Melanie Martinez - Strawberry Fields Forever (Cover)

Unhappy Meal - Melanie Martinez

I had pinwheels in my eyes for you
Blinded by the pinks and blues
Oh, you were my wind-up Romeo
We had matching bubblegum tattoos
Serenade me with your kazoo
You tricked me with your ribbons and your bows

It's so shiny in a shopping cart
Pretty in a parking lot
But when you go home
That's when it falls apart

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Wine and dine me with your plastic fruit
Robbed me of my sweet tooth
Held me up with a loaded water gun
Tied me to these toy train tracks
You left me there and you never came back
Tacky souvenirs when it's said and done

It's so shiny in a shopping cart
Pretty in a parking lot
But when you go home
That's when it falls apart

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store

(Come and play)
(Come and play)

Oh, my love is like a virus
Ain't no doctor gonna stop it
Why won't you just come and play with me?
(Why won't you just come and play?)
Yes, this feeling is contagious
I think you should be courageous
Why don't you just come and play with me?
(Why won't you just come and play?)

Don't be afraid
(Come and play)

Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies
Don't be frightened 'bout my cooties (Come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie
Don't you wanna catch my cooties? (Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)

So wrapped up in this affliction
Shut your mouth and baby, listen
Stop teasing just come and play with me
(Why won't you just come and play?)
(Come and play)

Don't be afraid
(Come and play)

Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies
Don't be frightened 'bout my cooties (Come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie
Don't you wanna catch my cooties? (Come and play)
Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies (Cooties)
Don't be frightened about my cooties (Cooties, come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie (Cooties)
Don't you wanna catch my cooties? (Cooties, come and play)


(Why won't you just come and play?)
(Why won't you just come and play?)
(Come and play)
(Why won't you just come and play?)
(Why won't you just come and play?)
(Come and play)
Don't be afraid

Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies
Don't be frightened 'bout my cooties (Come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie
Don't you want to catch my cooties? (Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)

(Come and play)

Cooties

I could pull the sheets over my head
And never get out of this bed
But what would that do?
I avoid all mirrors
'Cause I'm scared to look into my eyes
When I only see you

It's like you're always creeping
On the walls and in my feelings
All those stories about ghosts are really true

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do
I'm haunted by you

I can hear you talking in the distance
Your persistence is so cruel
And all your words pull at my feet
And I fall back in love with you
What can I do?

It's like you're always creeping
On the walls and in my feelings
All those stories about ghosts are really true

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do

We used to be so warm
But now we're just an ice storm
Slowly freezing up my heart
We used to be so warm
But now we're just an ice storm
Slowly freezing up my heart, heart, heart

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do
I'm haunted by you

"99 Cent Store" is an unreleased song by Melanie Martinez. It was originally intended to be featured on her debut album, Cry Baby.

The song is centered around a character, most likely Cry Baby, falling in love with a boy who "sold her cheap lies". It tells the story of her looking back at her relationship with the boy, and now finally seeing through all his lies. She was head over heels for someone who she thought she knew, but in reality, she only fell in love with the fake disguise he put on. The boy tricked her into believing he was something that he wasn't. His "ribbons and bows" were just a decoration to hide his true self. The song relates their relationship to something bought at a 99-cent store, pretty and shiny, but also incredibly cheap and not destined to last.

[Verse 1]
You were here before, couldn't look you in the eyes
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather in a beautiful world
I wish I was special, you're so very special

[Chorus]
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

[Verse 2]
Don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice that I'm not around
You're so very special, I wish I was special

[Chorus]
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here, no, no

[Bridge]
She's running out again
She's running out
Run, run, run, run
Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

[Outro]
Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want
You're so very special, I wish I was special
