Melanie Martinez - Tag, You're It
Looking at me through your window
Boy, you had your eye out for a little
I'll cut you up and make you dinner
You've reached the end,
You are the winner
Rolling down your tinted window
Driving next to me real slow
He said
Let me take you for a joyride
I've got some candy for you inside
Running down the parking lot
He chased me,
And he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
Grabbed my hand,
Pushed me down
Took the words right out of my mouth
Tag, you're it
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
Can anybody hear me?
I'm hidden underground
Can anybody hear me?
Am I talking to myself?
Saying,
Tag, you're it
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
He's saying,
Tag, you're it
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
Little bit of poison in me,
I can taste your skin in my teeth
I love it when I hear you breathing
I hope to God you're never leaving
Running through the parking lot
He chase me and he wouldn't stop
Tag you're it,
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
Grabbed my hand,
Pushed me down,
Took the words right out of my mouth
Tag, you're it
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
Can anybody hear me?
I'm hidden underground
Can anybody hear me?
Am I talking to myself?
Saying,
Tag, you're it
Tag,
Tag,
Your it
He's saying,
Tag, you're it
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
Eenie meenie miney mo,
Get a lady by her toes,
If she screams,
Don't let her go
Eenie meenie miney mo,
Your mother said pick the very best girl,
And I am
Running through the parking lot
He chase me and he wouldn't stop
Tag you're it,
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
Grabbed my hand,
Pushed me down,
Took the words right out of my mouth
Tag, you're it
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
Running through the parking lot
He chase me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it
Tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand,
Pushed me down,
Took the words right out of my mouth
He's saying,
Tag, you're it
Tag,
Tag,
You're it
“Tag, You’re It” covers the topic of sexual assault, utilizing the children’s game, “Tag” as a metaphor. In an interview with Noisey, Melanie said the following about the track: “Cry Baby is now single and wolves are on the prowl. She gets kidnapped by a "wolf.” The music video for “Tag, You’re It” was released as a double feature with “Milk and Cookies.” It was directed by Melanie and produced by Mat Holis. The story and illustration for this song appears on the 19th page of the Cry Baby storybook, reading: "A lonely girl so vulnerable To her house she walks alone The bad wolf ice-cream man had known And took her to his awful home."
