Melanie Martinez - 99 cent

(Verse 1)

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

(Pre-Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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

(Verse 2)

Wine and dine me with your plastic food
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

(Pre-Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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

(Bridge)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

(Chorus)

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 storeI 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

Melanie Martinez - Biography

Melanie Adele Martinez (born April 28, 1995) is an American singer-songwriter born in Astoria, Queens, and raised in Baldwin, New York.

Born to Dominican and Puerto Rican parents, she got her start on the Emmy Award-winning TV show The Voice USA at 17 years old. Although she did not win, this lead her to produce her first single “Carousel”, which was used in promos for American Horror Story: Freak Show.

Starting her independent career, Melanie signed with Atlantic Records. More than a year after Melanie’s Dollhouse EP was released, her first studio album Cry Baby made its debut on August 14, 2015, with the likes of Kinetics and One Love as producers of the record. She released her second album called K-12 four years later, on September 6, 2019, counting a total of 13 tracks with themes such as female empowerment and gender equality.

Her unique style of writing, singing, and story-telling has garnered her enormous fanbase— songs like “Mrs. Potato Head” and “Dollhouse” yield a touch of social commentary, while “Alphabet Boy” and “Cry Baby” give listeners a glimpse into her personal life.

She cites Lana Del Rey, Regina Spektor, Feist, Fiona Apple and Marina and the Diamonds as major influences on her music.

In addition to her accounts on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, Melanie also uses Tumblr, YouTube, and her official website to connect with fans.
