This song... and any real fall out boy fan who didn't jump on the bandwagon when from under the cork tree made it big would know this... Is about Chris Gutierrez an old childhood friend of Pete Wentz. Pete had "relations" with Chris' girlfriend and when he found out he blasted pete on his livejournal saying things like who does he think he is (the reason for the title don't you know who I think I am?). one nite stand refers to his sex with chris's girlfriend and put your fingers back to the keys is pete telling him that if he can't get over it or do better than some petty insults on an online blog he needs to put his fingers back to the (keyboard) keys and keep on typing until his heart is content.

All I know about this song is that the title is supposed to represent a text message.

From what I read and what I heard in the song. It's about A guy angry at the girl cause she moved on yet he still feels for her, desire, he tells her his is a better F**k then the other guy. Like tell her what she is missing out on.
And "He tastes like you only sweeter" Is from the girls perspective, maybe retaliating from the point that the guy says he is better for her then the other guy, also its a line from the movie "Closer" Which another one of their songs refers too, maybe they really like that movie or something. And the title being short, yeah I think it was done to shorten things up but then after they realized it looks like a text and heck let people think that its interesting. This song makes everyone think, and its good when you try to figure it out but the only ones who really know the true meaning are the ones who wrote it, you can write something and sing it and you will have your meaning and the listeners might have another, it might be close or it might not, but everyone perceives differently. Its what you think it's about. Find it out on your own maybe it means something to you. I am ranting Sorry.

Well, judging by the music video, I think this song is about how all the producers/people who manage and direct F.O.B. are a bunch of monkeys and keep kicking them when they're down and treating them like babies. Then again, that was a really stupid interpretation.

You're all ridiculous.
Everyone knows this is about how they're all depressed because of the vicious FATcycle:
1.They're hungry
2.They eat
3.They eat
4.They feel bad
5.They eat more to fill the void
6.They eat
and so on.
The lyrics should be interpreted as metaphores for food and hunger:
-"One night yeah and one more time..." = "Last night's banoffee pie was oh SO good."
-"Thanks for the memories" = "Good times. CAKEE."
-"Even though they werent so great" = "I prefer chocolate"
-"He tastes like you only sweeter" = ("He" being the chocolate and "you" being the banoffee pie, I think you can get it from there.)
-"In hotel rooms" = "Room service"
-"Collecting page six lovers" = (Page 6 being the dessert menu)
-"Get me out of my mind" = "CORRRR I could do with a sneaky shot of hot fudge"
-"Get you out of those clothes" = (Taking off wrappers, "you" being the fudge/taking off clothes after eating too much)
-"I'm a letter away" = "....from getting another chocolate bar"
-"From getting you into the mood" = "For making you hungry."
-"Woah" = No explanation needed.
I rest my case,
FEED FALL OUT BOY.
We will shortly be forwarding this to congress - a petition is indeed needed.

This song is about how Patric was cheated on. The keyboard player from the first band was the guy she cheated on him with. 'he tastes like you only sweeter' was from a movie with John Cusack were the his girlfriend cheats on him and tells him that line and Patric's girlfriend though the line was so clever and it was the movie they saw on there first date.

So this song is about how a guy in the band meets this guy and can't get him out of his mind so he meets this waitress and sleeps with her but all he can think bout is the guy so in the end he turns gay

This is written without vowels in response to Island's suggestion of dumbing down the lyrics and making the song titles shorter. Pete has said it's about people who were in love and aren't anymore and are just having sex for the fun of it.
Go watch the movie closer, Thnks pretty much summarizes it
Also, the song hints on what people THINK fob is like "collecting page six lovers" is a reference to gossip columns.

This song is about when Pete slept with this guy's girlfriend a long time ago. "say a prayer but let the good times roll" this means that he new its wrong to cheat but he wanted to risk it and have a good time anyway "in case god doesn't show". "I want these words to make things right" he apologised to her boyfriend, "but its the wrongs that make the words come to life" but wasn't really that sorry about it. "who does he think he is?" is what the girls boyfriend wrote on his MySpace "if that's the worst you got better put your fingers back to the keys" means that if that's the worst he can insult him, he should try again. "thanks for the memories" he enjoyed it,, "even though they weren't so great" but suffered the consequences. "he tastes like you only sweeter" is the girls quote, that's what she told him after.
"This crystal ball is always cloudy except for when you look into the past, one night stand" this means he's not gonna do it again in the future even though he enjoyed it.
greattttt song<3

I agree that it's about the Chris lady moment. But at first I really thought it was so gayish. Like, even quoted "he tastes like you only sweeter" could've been a statement addressed to the ex. Maybe, Pete told it to the girl because he tasted Chris better. Wtf. This is so wrong!

I only turned 13 yesterday and, my opinion of the meaning of the song, may not be right. So here it goes.
I think this song is about a guy who has a girlfriend that was cheating on him by his best friend. And this is about him singing about her (he tastes like you only sweeter) he threatens to hurt her because he really likes her (I'm going to make you bend and break) because he thought those good times with her are going to be good memories, until he caught her cheating.
BAD INTERPRETATION, BUT IT'S WORTH SOMETHING THAN NOTHINg.

"And I want these words to make things right
But it's for wrongs that make the words come to life" I think this means that he wants this song to make things between him and chris better, but it's the wrong things, or his mistakes that made him want to say this and write this song.
Who does he think he is?
If that's the worst you got, better put your fingers back to the keys
As someone said before I think that means if insulting him is the worst chris can do, he needs to keep going, and keep typing things.
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
This probably sounds farfetched but I think one more time means he had multiple one night stands with chris' gf. He spells it thnk fr th mmrs because it was said in the form of a text message. He says even though they weren't so great because when he looks back he sees them as painful memories
See, he tastes like you
Only sweeter
That is a quote from the movie closer, but here I think it means the girl says it as if she's comparing chris and pete.
"I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms
Collecting page six lovers"
That means that people think he only cares about the money and glamour of fall out boy. page six lovers refers to having lovers who are also celebrities.

Hey, y'all don't have the "he tastes like you" part right. You know the video has monkeys in it right? And the girl likes the monkey? THAT'S what it's about. Pete said so.

Pete said in a concert once that this song is about obssessing over one girl and you can't share it to the whole world.. Something something.. blah blah blah... He said it wasn't about a fling. :)

So let's start from I'm going make you bend and break you. I think it means when he has sex with you he is going to make you and then it will ruin your reputation when people find out. And I hate to say it, but he wants use to have fun "in case God doesn't show". He wants the words he says to her to mean something, but it takes a wrong to make the words really mean something. It's doesn't matter who he thinks he is just "put your fingers back to the key. Then he has a one night stand which he has a lot hence "one night AND ONE MORE TIME". Which means he has done it more than one time. The girl he is with that night has a threesome with another guy, and he thinks he tasted a lot like her only sweeter. He is looking forward to getting over these one night stands, but it's hard for him to stop. He is looking forward to the future, but it gets cloudy, and hard to tell what will happen next. And then he has another "One night stand". He thinks 'in the form of crunching numbers in hotel rooms collecting page six lovers". Which means he goes to hotel rooms and pulls out his black book "page six lovers", he has six pages of lovers for his one night stands. That's what I think the song means.

The song "Thnks fr th Mmrs" is about two lovers who have broken up, but still have sex and question whether their relationship has really died, or if it's just for their needs. The line "It tastes like you, but sweeter" (as "he tastes like you, only sweeter") is spoken by Julia Roberts to Clive Owen in the 2004 film Closer. This is another reference to the Wentz-Gutierrez love triangle.

Okay. listen.
it is about chris guiterrez {HeyChris}
Pete slept with chris' girlfriend.
Chris posted a blog with "Who does he think he is?" (Hence the lyrics "Who does he think he is" if that's the worst you got better put your fingers back to the keys. The keys being keyboard. because it was a blog)
Chris and pete grew up together ["My heart beats, in tick with, these kids that I grew up with" in grenade jumper.]
"And I want these words to make things right, but its the wrongs that make the words come to life"
Is enhansing the "page 6 lovers thing" where pete says he is sorry, but by admitting it he's hoping chris&Him will be friends again.
