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.

I think that ciofie T wrote an awesome explanation, but I just wanted to add that I think the line "Just to keep us warm" is referring to how they're willing to burn the bridge of their friendship just to feel "warm" or close/wanted/loved/protected/etc. for however short a time it may be.

i dont know...but for me fall out boy's songs get u thinking a lot. many of their songs i dont have a clue of what they are talking about. something about the lyrics "ill be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake" makes me think like the one telling/singing the song has done something wrong. you know the worst mistake ever you try to make it your biggest secret. Or it could be the other way....you keep the secret and it becomes a huge mistake.....i aint sure though....
"So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke."
and then this also explains it a bit....u know cary me around...im ur biggets mistake...soon ill get to you and ull breakdown...meaning choke....
this is what i think.......but like i said sometimes i dont have a clue.

This song reminds me of my ex boyfriend soo bad.. our relationship ended in such and ugly manner, we divided friendships and we hurt more people than just ourselves. But here we are four months later, sneaking around our friends and family hooking up with each other. "nothing comes as easy as you.. ill be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake"-- I cant help myself, Im so in love with this guy.. its fucking twisted. "so wear me like a locket around your throat.. ill weigh you down, ill watch you sulk" .. its such a fatal attraction, that eventually if we keep this up, we'll end up killing each other.

Everyone keeps asking about the Dirty Dancing Reference. I think it has a lot in common with the movie. In the movie, their whole relationship was a secret and it was taking a toll on both of their lives. So they decide to go their own ways - he quits and drives way never to see her again and Baby goes back to her family...they burned that bridge just cuz they thought it was best, like the song says. They of course were both lying to themselves. So what happens? Patrick Swayze comes back and says "Nobody puts Baby in the Corner"...consequences be damned, I have to be with you even if the relationship's too hard to handle, choke on it if it means I get to be with you.

Well, the song of course was probably written on his own experiences and the movie probably reminds him of his situation. He had some sort of secret going with the girl (wether they were cheating, or she was hiding him, or ashamed of him...whatever it could be anything) and they decided to break it off.....he's obviously hurting and jealous (she chose the other guy or found a new guy) and he wants to be with her because the relationship is so natural (comes as easy as you) even if the relationship wears her down....he's torn between loving her and keeping his distance. He probably says "I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke, you look so good in blue" cuz he's torn between loving and hating her - she should love him enough to suffer through their problems just to be with him. That's what I think.

First i want to say that i did not take the time to read the other explanations, so if i am just repeating, forgive me. But...

Drink down that gin and kerosene,
and come spit on bridges with me.
Just to keep us warm.
(Not literally, its about burning bridges figuratively)

Then light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave, me be.
(I feel this refers to burning the bridges between the guy and girl)

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.
(Jealousy of possibly another guy, but he tells her he is happy, even tho he is jealous, and she is obviously not happy with the relationship that they have, but she says she is happy too.
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.
(It was really easy to hang out with each other, laying in the bed all day could refer to just hanging out, or more, possibly the next day after spending the night. Whatever they have between them was kept a secret by the girl, either because he was a "mistake" aka there is a different boyfriend that she had, or it is her mistake to give up on him, leave him, etc. He is writing a song about the failed relationship)

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.
(The thought of him will always haunt her, always weighing on her conscience[i'll weigh you down]...and he is glad it hurts her, because what would be a fall out boy song without a little hatred? [you look so good in blue]

yeah...

Wrong Lyric - "Come spit on bridges"
SB - "Come spit off bridges"

Just a way to kill time with this girl...drinking and spitting off a bridge. Everyone has spit off a bridge before. That's a requirement of being on a bridge, I think.

The song in its entirety is about a relationship that he has with a girl. The girl has feelings for him, but not strong enough that she would let the world know about it. So, he has to hang out with her away from the world, while she also goes off and has a life separate from him. He's not content to "lay in her bed all day", but he will.

"I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke" refers to the fact that he can't fit into her lifestyle. So, if she keeps him a secret, like a picture locket, he's going to mess with her perfect life.

This is my favorite song on the "From Under the Cork Tree" album. I love Fall Out Boy...As far as the meaning goes though, it kinda sounds like a girl is cheating, kind of like what some of the other people are saying. Whatever it means, I still love this song.

this is what i think...
This song is about a boy that likes this "easy to get"girl at school & she :apparently" loves him 2..but she has a boyfriend already..but still he wants both of them together and to have some fun..so she agrees..so they have sex and then hes like dont worry ill be your best kept secret...but still he knows he'll be her bigest mistake(hell knows why..)..then they're back to school were she kisses with her boyfriend all the time..and there he says"i keep my jealousy close..cause its all mine"..and he says like why can't we be together..wouldn't you prefer just being with me only..and give me a kiss(light a match & let me be your boyfriend)..but she says that she prefers to stay with the other guy..and hes like"but are you happy?" and she says she is and he too, but still knowing they are both lying to each other..so then they are not together anymore and they dont see each other anymore only at skool..so then he says that there he'll be a locket around her throat..because he's now going to tell she was cheatin to the other guy since she did this to him..she apparently really broke his heart..so now he says "I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke"..like hes going to be laughing at her seeing her relationship break apart with the other guy..and seeing her feel guilty of what she had done..(you look so good in blue)..

I'm surprised your collective intelligence hasn't figured this out.
From the beginning, the person is planning to kill the other. Getting them drunk lowers their sense of everything, and a bridge - think about it. I'll make another reference to it in a second.
I think it could be a song from three perspectives.
The first, is a man's. This perspective gives the suggestion to go to the bridge drunk, saying the person looks good in blue, and the section about jealousy.
The second, is his lover's. She claims to be happy, but he can tell she's not being truthful, as well as the light a match part.
The third, is someone interested in an affair with the lover. "Can I live in your bed all day? I'll be your best kept secret, and your biggest mistake" sounds like something that is pretty much the meaning of all of what people say who are interested in affairs.
Now to the homicide reference,
"So wear me like a locket around your throat." obviously means his hands.
"I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke."
Obviously means either choking or drowning somebody. Drowning near a bridge, anyone see a connection?
Finally,
"You look so good in blue" is a reference to his content at her being under blue water.
That's my interpretation.
And you idiots like sassy dancer and nija should post something constructive instead of praising the artists, or at least post somethign constructive to the discussion with your praise.

Here's my opinion of this song:

"Drink down.... warm" = about them having fun, spitting off bridges like kids do.. i guess.

"light a maich to leave me be" light match = having sex, but she's clearly cheating on her bf with him, so leave me be = going back to her bf.

"if you say... lying" If she says she's happy with the situation then she lying, just like he is about being happy. coz he loves her and wants to be with her.

beginning of chorus is clearly about sex.

"I'll be you best.. mistake" keeps the cheating theme, n that she'll regret it.


oh, "jealousy close..."etc about the fact that he's jealous about the girls bf. "close"? maybe he doesnt reveal his jealousy. hence y he lies about being happy.

"so wear me... good in blue" metaphorical chocking... meaning emotionally he weighs her down, he's high maintenence, plus its the keeping him secret and the fact he loves her when she has another bf.

specailly with the , Hand behind this pen relieves a failure every day" sounds like a threat.


wowo, that was major lyric depth. I love this song, it could mean so many things.

I think this is about a guy and he loves this girl, but he thinks she's too good for him. He thinks he'll weigh her down and because he loves her, he wants her to break it off.
