Cockroach Cafe Lyrics

i'm in the corner of the cockroach cafe./ a man hums and it makes me mad./ i want to cry, but i want attention more,/ and i need to cry but no one would listen./ if only i could lose ten punds,/ the man humming wouldn't make me mad/ and i wouldn't need to cry because everyone would listen./ if only i were beatiful (to you)/ but you know that cockroach reminds me a lot of you the way you run when i appologize./ i'm getting sick of your shit and you know, i want to see you cry./ i wanna see you cry/ i wanna see you cry

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

When I listen to this song, I feel that they way it is sung is in a mocking manner. Reading the lyrics, maybe it's not so obvious, but I think that the song's about a girl that's more concerned about getting attention and losing weight to magically cure her problems than more important things.
