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 don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but the line "the hand behind this pen relives a failure every day" to me says masturbation. because maybe he failed to have sex with the girl so he relieves his tension by beating off?

ok I havn't read all of the comments so if this is the same as anyone elses then im sorry but....
I think that this song is about someone who feels like a failure everyday and he is jealous of someone else or everyone else. He feels like he isnt good enough for anyone and will make them 'choke' when he is around them.

Fall Out Boy are really good at the whole, double entendre and sexual innuendo thing aren't they.
It's weird to think how many kids like their songs when there's so much sexual undertone.
May just be me but "nothing comes as easy as you" etc. Pete and Patrick have quite often says that they worry what the kids are thinking when they sing their lyrics. E.g. Dance dance - "Why don't you show me the little bit of spine. You've been saving for his mattress, love"

This is my absolute favorite FOB song. A guy I was dating had me listen to it. It made so much sense because he was attached to someone else at the time and we kept our relationship a secret, but at the same time we knew we were making a mistake. hence*I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake* We both had a bad experience with our Significant others and were emotionally drained *weigh you down, watch you choke*. this song is truly amazing!

Now I;v heard every FOB song ever done and can safely say this IS my favourite..i have laods of favs but if i had to pick one this would be it, the lyrics, the music the sound its brill

it seems to be like a "metaphorical murder" if that makes sence??
"drink down that gin and kerosene" and then "light a match to leave me be" well kerosene is HIGHLY flamable right?

then boviously "wear me like a locket around your throat , i'll weight you down i'll watch you choke, yoo look so good in blue"...
the lyric "yoo look so good in blue" is a metaphore within its self, it doesnt mean "wow nice top, blue suits ya" its "your choking here, u cant breath, your going blue and it looks good"

as for "the hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday" ..does anyone else think thats a refrence to pete? he writes the lyrics so surly he would be the hand behind the pen? dunno..

I Think The Line 'Keep Quiet Nothing Comes as easy As You' Is Him Simply Saying she doesnt Have to Sell Herself To Him(Not In that Way lol)-Hes in Love With Her Already- --And Then the Line 'Ill Be Your Best kept secret And Your Biggest Mistake'He Feels Hes Way Out Of Her League But even If It Means That She Will Ashamed Of Him and Will Never Tell Anyone He Wont Care Because It Still Means Hell Be Close To Her.

(Drink down that gin and kerosene,
and come spit on bridges with me.
Light a match and leave me be.)
kerosene is fire fuel they are lighting a match and it mentions bridges so its probably means he is "burning bridges" with her.
(I keep my jealousy close cause its all mine and if you say this makes you happy then I am not the only one who's lying) I am not sure what the writer meant by this but it reminds me about this guy I got involved in. He was with this girl and he pretended he was happy with her but he felt forced into the relationship. He always told me he liked me too but I would be in the background and I kept my jealousy over him close because it was all mine unlike him.
(I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.)
loving the person who was involved in the unhappy relationship could be a secret and a huge mistake.
(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.)
maybe He wants to always be the regret in the bad of the persons mind. he could have felt like he held her back for so long and now he just wants her out of his life (burning bridges) so he is willing to choke her and watch her die. hes saying she looks good in blue because when you choke you turn blue and he doesn't give a care

It's hard to communicate ideas for this song, but I'll give it a shot. I think this one is one of few FOB songs that are pretty straight forward in their meaning so here goes...

Drink down that gin and kerosene,
and come spit on bridges with me.
Just to keep us warm.
The person who is singing *or thinking* is a bit hopeless and careless, and is wanting some companionship in friends but doesn't really have many.

Then light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave, me be.
Shows the person is a bit lonely- the "match" provides warmth for a lonely person.

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.
The guy is with a girl who is cheating on her boyfriend for him, the guy is jealous of her boyfriend but won't say anything, as he doesn't really have many people to talk to and want to keep her. the girl is a bit unhappy in her ralationship because she knows what she is doing is wrong, and he is a burden, (as reflected in the next part) but she goes with it anyway.

Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
She is easy to get and doesn't really resist the guy, and he's telling her to not say anything because she is partly at fault for being so easy to get. "can i lay in your bed all day?" pretty much states that he is pretty careless and just wants her.

I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
She won't tell anyone for fear of the consiquences and because she holds on to something she knows is wrong, she's making a "mistake"

The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.
comes back to the first part- a bit hopeless [a failure] and this is all he's good at.

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.
He's saying again that he is a burden for her but he doesn't really care, and is a bit amused by the whole situation and how it is troubling her.

its hard to communicate but i hope you get the idea.

Fall Out Boy has incredible lyrics in their songs. Just how figurative they can get & have deeper meanings to the meanings that are deeper than the superficial words. Its amazing how they craft their words.

so like, i've pondered this song for so long, and i may be way off but what if the whole 'i keep my jealousy close' is a connection to the whole 'keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.'
the speakers jealousy is his enemy, maybe?

no idea.

I think the girl is cheating on her boyfriend with the writer (Pete) and the song is basically outlining his feelings of discontent towards their secrecy.

the last part of the song where it says


"you look so good in blue"

i am pretty sure it means that
when someone is depressed or sad you are considered "blue"
so what my take on this is

if her boyfriend is making her sad angry ect...
and he gets the chance to make her feel better and enjoy himself with her then yeah she is going to look good all the time when she is in her blue stage

well hey its just an opinion

Okay, well I personally think this song is about like a friends with benefits thing. And while they're secretly doing these things he's falling for her "I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake" and he knows she's going to regret him in the future.

Okay, i personally think you all have it wrong. =] but heres how i take the song.

I belive its about a hook up. Espeically the chorus.

Keep quiet nothing comes as easy as you
~nothing comes as easy as you? the guy wants to hook up with her, and hes calling her easy to get with~
Can i lay in your bed all day?
~thats like a symbol for sex..can i be in your bed with you all day, can we have sex all day long?~
Ill be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake..
~i loveeee this line with a passion. This is saying, since its just a hookup, its obviously going to be a secret, hes also gnna be her biggest mistake, (or vice a verse) because, its just a hookup, tehy will have sex, and then thats the end. it goes nowere after that. and during that timing, one of them will fall for the other...but it doesnt matter cause it wont mean anything. and thats why its a big mistake. cause its just a hookup that means absolutly nothing.

i hope i helped thats what it means to me, maybe cause im in that situation at the moment. idk.

and nobody puts baby in the corner is a great name. so random i love it!

Kays--
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.

This means a lot---
Drink down the gin and kerosene=

Perfect concoction to make a fire

Spit on bridges=
Your pretty much spitting your fire concoction onto the bridge

Light a match=

your setting the bridge on fire


Pete has a fetish for burning bridges, doesn't he?
In I'm like a lawyer... He's talking about burning bridges- and now in nobody puts baby in the corner, he's still burning bridges. ^_^
