Mrs. Potato Head

**"Mrs. Potato Head"** es una canción de Melanie Martinez incluida como la duodécima pista en su álbum debut, CryBaby.

Melanie confirmó por primera vez que esta canción estaría en el álbum durante una transmisión en vivo a través de Periscope el 1 de junio de 2015, mencionando que fue la más divertida de escribir. Melanie luego publicó un fragmento de la canción en su cuenta de **Instagram** el 10 de agosto de 2015.

El video musical se lanzó el 1 de diciembre de 2016.

## Antecedentes

Durante su estadía en Los Ángeles, mientras se ocupaba de la producción de su EP y álbum, Melanie se dio cuenta de la gran influencia que tiene la cirugía plástica en Hollywood; la gente se veía demasiado influenciada por los estándares de belleza en el lugar, por lo que se forzaban a verse hermosos. Esto le recordó a *el señor y la señora cara de papa*, juguetes famosos por su capacidad para colocarles varias piezas de plástico, ya sean accesorios o partes del cuerpo.

## Tema

Esta canción aborda la cirugía plástica, sus consecuencias y la lucha por la belleza en el mundo moderno, así como las personas que sucumben a esas presiones. Melanie afirmó que esta canción no se trataba de criticar a las mujeres que se someten a cirugía plástica, sino más bien de preguntar *"¿Why are you doing this when you're beautiful without it?"* *("¿Para qué lo haces, si eres hermosa sin ello?").*

## Letra

If you weren't born with it

You can buy a couple ornaments

Just be sure to read the warning, kids

'Cause pretty soon you'll be bored of it

Sexual, hey girl if you wanna feel sexual

You can always call up a professional

They stick pins in you like a vegetable

Kids forever, kids forever

Baby soft skin turns into leather

Don't be dramatic it's only some plastic

No one will love you if you're unattractive

Oh Mrs. Potato Head tell me

Is it true that pain is beauty?

Does a new face come with a warranty?

Will a pretty face make it better?

Oh Mr. Potato Head tell me

How did you afford her surgery?

Do you swear you'll stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Even if her face don't stay together

If you want a little more confidence

Potatoes turn to french fries, yeah it's common sense

All you need's a couple more condiments

And a hundred thousand dollars for some compliments

It's such a waste

When little girls grow into their mother's face

But little girls are learning how to cut and paste

And pucker up their lips until they suffocate

Kids forever kids forever

Baby soft skin turns into leather

Don't be dramatic it's only some plastic

No one will love you if you're unattractive

Oh Mrs. Potato Head tell me

Is it true that pain is beauty?

Does a new face come with a warranty?

Will a pretty face make it better?

Oh Mr. potato head tell me

How did you afford her surgery?

Do you swear you'll stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Stay forever, stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Stay forever, stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Oh Mrs. Potato Head tell me

Is it true that pain is beauty?

Does a new face come with a warranty?

Will a pretty face make it better?

Oh Mr. Potato Head tell me

How did you afford her surgery?

Do you swear you'll stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Stay forever, stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Stay forever, stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Stay forever, stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Stay forever, stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together
