hello! thanks for watching ~
lyrics ~
[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
I-I, you sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store
[Post-Chorus 1]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Wine and dine me with your plastic fruit
Robbed me up 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
I-I, you sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store
[Post-Chorus 2]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
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
[Post-Chorus 1]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Outro]
I still think about you sometimes (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
But only when I walk through the 99 cent store (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
end of lyrics ~
t~h~e~m~e:
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. (from wiki)
