Lyrics for Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner Lyrics
Drink down that gin and kerosene,
and come spit on bridges with me.
Just to keep us warm.

Then light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave, me be.
And I keep my jealousy close,
'cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
then I'm not the only lying.

Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.

Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.

And I keep my jealousy close,
'cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
then I'm not the only one who is lying.

Drink down that gin and kerosene,
and come spit on bridges with me.
Just to keep us warm.

Then light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave, me be.

Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.

Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.

So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.

So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.

So wear me like a locket around your throat. (Keep quiet, nothing comes as easy as you)
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke. (Can I lay in your bed all day?)
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.

Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.

the lyrics are wrong

So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.

So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.

So wear me like a locket around your throat. (Keep quiet, nothing comes as easy as you)
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke. (Can I lay in your bed all day?)
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.


the 1st 1 should say Sulk Not Choke... the rest are choke

So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you sulk.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.

Sulk - "be in a huff and display one's displeasure"

yeah guys, unbelievable. it's funny how only Fall Out Boy songs mean the most to me. it's sad...

there was this beautiful girl...beyond words...and i was in love. for the first time ever, i loved this girl. there was nothing in the world that could have made me happier than when she told me she liked me back. obviously not as much as i did her, but enough. but over time, she liked me a LOT. it was picture perfect. nothing as good as her has ever happened to me...but she decided to hold back for some reason. she "didn't want to hurt me"...or so it seemed. wouldn't you all say that that's more hurtful than getting hurt? like really. but anyways, i always asked, "is this what you really want? like, are you happy?" "...and if you say this makes you happy than i'm not the only one...that lied..." genius! played out my situation in one sentence.

i geuss i did kinda weigh her down though...cause i'm such an emotionally weak person, and couldn't stand it if she was mad at me or about something i did. and it seemed to happen a lot :(. but hell...it's over now...and i geuss that has to suck more than anything.

love's a killer...

This song is great, but this site IS called Song Meanings. No one really tells people what they think the song is about. I really dont' know what this song is really about. He sings "Can I lay in your bed all day? I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake." But then at the end of the song he says "So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue." I'm confused...I don't know if I'm going crazy and I don't know what this song means or if it's because it's 2am...I dont' know. Someone please explain!

I am gonna take a swing at the meaning of this song.........

Drink down that gin and kerosene,
and come spit on bridges with me.
Just to keep us warm.

Then light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave, me be.
And I keep my jealousy close,
'cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
then I'm not the only lying
(Maybe these are two people getting drunk, setting fires and enjoying themselves. Then light a match leave me be must be her leaving him alone, and maybe hes jealous of something, maybe she has another guy. Then when she saying she happy shes really not and he knows this.)

Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.
(Keep quiet, maybe they are having sex or something, and they are lying in her bed and he just wants to lay there. Maybe shes cheating on a guy with him here. Then afterwards he must right about it.)

So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.
(Maybe he wants her to keep him in mind, and wants her to feel guilty. Then he wants to see the relationship blow up in her face. Then you look so good in blue is either she looks good in blue, or she is blue because shes sad and he likes to see her that way.)

Welll thats just my opinion.

I'm gunna attempt to explain what I think this song means..

Uhmm.. I think it's about him being in love with a girl who already has a boyfriend but he's telling her it's okay to cheat on her boyfriend with him because he loves her and he wants her even if he can't have her permanently, he wants her for a little while. And by saying "I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake" he's saying that he won't tell anyone about them and that she'll probably regret being with him later but it doesn't matter right now because he loves her so much..?

I don't know. I'm most likely wrong but I *think* that's what it means.

Brilliant song.. my absolute favorite. It's sooo amazing. :)

this song was one of the fall out boy songs I ever heard, I have since been an avid fan. There are many terrific lines in this song. Promisesxkept, wtf are you talking about when you mean pissing yourself? Do you mean really? Because, you knmow, you probably have a bladder problem. I have on e as well and I can probably give you some tips on piyp (peeing in your pants) prevention.

hmmm….I think I have a slightly different take on this song… l try to break this down by verse as the repetition makes it a bit confusing
Drink down that gin and kerosene,
and come spit on bridges with me.
Just to keep us warm.
A new way of saying an old phrase. Here, unlike others who have posted, I believe the speaker intended this verse NOT to be taken literally. Though the “getting drunk and playing with fire” I guess makes sense, I think it makes more sense if taken figuratively. I think the speaker is saying that he is burning down his bridges with this girl. For those who are not familiar with what “burning bridges” is, it is a common metaphor that means to eliminate the possibility of return or retreat. So in this case, he is purposely taking action to ensure that there will be no way to regress back to his relationship with this certain someone.
Which leads to the next verse…

Then light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave, me be.
And I keep my jealousy close,
'cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
then I'm not the only lying.
This verse seems to hold some contradictions. The speaker is clearly in some conflict with his feelings for this girl. In the first two lines he says he wants be left alone. Then he goes on to say “he keeps his jealously close”, his jealousy concerning this girl, because “its all mine”…this one I’m not sure on but could be interpreted as the girl has cheated on him and now that it’s over and she moves on to another guy all he is left with is jealousy, something that he feels is ALL his, which the girl wasn’t. He then says that all that he has done to get away from this girl hasn’t made him happy, and he thinks that she isn’t happy about it either.
Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.
Not entirely sure on this one either. But my best guess is that despite his further statements of being left alone he now wants to be “her best kept secret and biggest mistake.” He realizes he hates the way things are and wants her back in a way as his attempts to forget her proves useless.
So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you sulk.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.
Probably without a doubt the most powerful and memorable lines. Another one meant to be taken figuratively. Basically the guy asking the girl to take him back knowing that he’ll weigh her down and eventually end up choking her. If you read between the lines you’ll get it. “I’ll wear you down, I’ll watch you choke”=he’ll only bring her down. “you look so good in blue”=here I think “blue” is not to be taken as “sad” or wearing the color. But is more a play on words. This phrase is usually taken literally as a compliment, but in context-he’s emotionally/mentally choking her and she’s “turning blue” and he doesn’t care.
In all I think this song is basically a post relationship. The whole love-hate inner conflicts- for that person we once loved who fucked us over and we now love to hate. I’m not sure if what I have just written has made sense to anyone, hopefully it has. It was hard to put into words.
