[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh

[Verse 1]
I'm not a crybaby
I'm the crybaby
A caterpillar that got stuck
Mr. Moth, come quick with any luck
A long walk to a dark house
A Roman candle heart keep us far apart
I'm cocktail party doing alright, hate me baby
Maybe I'm a piece of art
Oh, my friends all lie and say

[Pre-Chorus]
They only want the best wishes for me
Oh, three, two, one, we go live!

[Chorus]
Oh baby, you're a classic
Like a little black dress
You're a faded moon
Stuck on a little hot mess
Little hot mess, whoa, whoa
And oh baby, you're a classic
Like a little black dress
But you'll be faded soon
Stuck on a little hot mess
Little hot mess, whoa, whoa, whoa

[Verse 2]
I can make your heart slow
I can feel the weather in my bones
Wish hard enough, I can turn it to what I like
Your pupils (Big) big (Roll), they're rolling like dice

[Pre-Chorus]
They say they only want the best wishes for me
(They only want the best for me)
Oh, three, two, one, we go live!

[Chorus]
Oh baby, you're a classic
Like a little black dress
You're a faded moon
Stuck on a little hot mess
Little hot mess, whoa, whoa
And oh baby, you're a classic
Like a little black dress
But you'll be faded soon
Stuck on a little hot mess
Little hot mess, whoa, whoa, whoa

[Bridge: Lil Wayne (Patrick Stump)]
Not the boy I was, the boy I am is just venting, venting
(Oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh)
Dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city
(Oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh)
Not the boy I was, the boy I am is just venting, venting
(Oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh)
Dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city
(Oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh ohh oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
They say they only want the best wishes for me
(They only want the best for me)
Oh, three, two, one, we go live!

[Chorus]
Oh baby, you're a classic
Like a little black dress
You're a faded moon
Stuck on a little hot mess
Little hot mess, whoa, whoa
And oh baby, you're a classic
Like a little black dress
But you'll be faded soon
Stuck on a little hot mess
Little hot mess, whoa, whoa, whoa...

Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
