Melanie Martinez - 99 Cent Store (Official Audio) 

She made this song with stuff she found at a thrift store. They’re so creative

Melanie Martinez: so talented that she can make a kazoo sound good

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 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 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

0:50 this part is just so

Theres probably an alternate universe where all her released songs are lost or unreleased and all of these songs are released (including king of the arcade)

1:16 I just love this part

i was the biggest melanie martinez fan in 2018-2020 still can’t believe i recognise most of her unrealised songs, i’m so exicted for her new album

From the Wiki: The song is centered around a character, most likely Crybaby, 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 glamorous facade. She was head over heels for someone 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 compares their relationship to something bought at a 99 cent store: pretty and shiny, but also incredibly cheap and not destined to last.

I told myself I wouldn’t listen to unreleased music but this song I just had to. This is my favorite by far now.

one of the best songs 🥰

Tbh this song reminds me of an old friend I broke away from almost recently. (It was in April.) She was very nice and sweet in the beginning of our friendship and even helped me study for a test. I miss the old her. It wasn't until I started to realize she was taking advantage of me and she never gave back to me. It wasn't until last month when she punched me in the stomach, and I finally decided to not be friends with her anymore. Yeah, this is what this song reminds me of.

Fun fact: This song was originally gonna be in the Crybaby album but it was replaced by Alphabet Boy. Which is why they kinda sound similar

2:53 SHES SO AMAZING

why doesn't anyone say this song is similar to "Alphabet Boy"?

She said she had fun making this song but it didn’t make the album bc it was too gory. Too good I’ll listen anyways 🦋❤️

This gives me Alphabet Boy vibes and idk why 😭

why is melanie staring into my soul in the artwork

i know yall can crusify me for listening 2 this rn but consider i havent listened 2 this in years and i wanna write the lyrics down so i can put them in a keepsake box so i dont forget how this song deserved to be released
