“Pacify Her” follows “Tag, You’re It,” which covers the topic of sexual assault. Melanie told VICE that “Cry Baby” becomes a different person after that experience and embraces her craziness, which carries on through this song:
“Pacify Her” is basically [Cry Baby] being a home wrecker. She’s so num...
[Verse 1]
Tired, blue boy walks my way
Holding a girl's hand
That basic bitch leaves finally
Now I can take her man
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone told me, "Stay away from things that aren't yours"
But was he yours if he wanted me so bad?
[Chorus]
Pacify her
She's getting on my nerves
You don't love her
Stop lying with those words
Pacify her
She's getting on my nerves
You don't love her
Stop lying with those words
[Post-Chorus]
(Words, words)
[Verse 2]
I can't stand her whining
Where's her binky now?
And lovin' her seems tiring
So, boy, just love me, down, down, down
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone told me, "Stay away from things that aren't yours"
But was he yours if he wanted me so bad?
[Chorus]
Pacify her
She's getting on my nerves
You don't love her
Stop lying with those words
Pacify her
She's getting on my nerves
You don't love her
Stop lying with those words
[Post-Chorus]
(Words, words)
[Bridge]
Pacify her
She's getting on my nerves
You don't love her
Stop lying with those words
[Chorus]
Pacify her
She's getting on my nerves
You don't love her
Stop lying with those words
Pacify her
She's getting on my nerves
You don't love her
Stop lying with those words
[Post-Chorus]
(Words, words)

Cry Baby tells the boy to “pacify,” or silence, his complaining girlfriend.
Melanie uses “pacify her" to continue the childlike theme of the Cry Baby album. Additionally, it’s a play on words—it sounds like “pacifier,” which is an object used to calm down a crying infant.
Martinez told Fuse:
[Cry Baby] is basically a homewrecker, and steals a boy from a random girl, just because she feels like she has lost all hope in love, and is trying to flirt with people and hurt people’s feelings.
She also told Noisey:
[This song] is basically her being a home wrecker. She’s...
