99 cent store

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

oh

you sold me all those cheap lies

could've built me a whole 99 cent store

wine-and-dine me with your plastic food

rob me of my sweet tooth

held me up with the 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

oh

you sold me all those cheap lies

could've built me a whole 99 cent store

i still think about you sometimes

only when i walk through the 99 cent store

oh

you sold me all those cheap lies

could've built me a whole 99 cent store

i still think about you sometimes

only when i walk through the 99 cent store
