Class Fight
Melanie Martinez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was the middle of class and the teacher wasn't lookin'
Kelly had a fat ass and trouble was cookin'
She had a boy wrapped around her finger tight
I fell in love with him, but he wasn't in my light
The teacher gave me notes to go out and give Kelly
She was kissin' Brandon, I got jelly
I wanted to be in her shoes for one day
I just waited 'til recess to make her pay

Mommy, why do I feel sad?
Should I give him away or feel this bad?
"No, no, no, don't you choke"
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"
For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"
For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"

For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"
For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat" (class fight)
For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"
For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat" (class fight)

Her face was fucked up and my hands were bloody
We were in the playground, things were getting muddy
The teacher broke us up after I broke her
And my one true love called me a monster

Mommy, why do I feel sad?
Should I give him away or feel this bad?
"No, no, no, don't you choke"
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"
For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"
For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"

For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"
For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat" (class fight)
For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat"




For the throat, for, for the throat
Daddy chimed in, "Go for the throat" (class fight)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Melanie Martinez’s song Class Fight narrate the story of a high school girl who falls in love with a boy who is already in a relationship with Kelly, who has a “fat ass” and has the boy wrapped around her finger. The singer is given notes by the teacher to deliver to Kelly, but when she sees her kissing the boy she likes, she feels jealous and wants to be in her shoes. The singer plots her revenge and waits until recess to confront Kelly. With Daddy’s voice in her head, telling her to “go for the throat,” a fight breaks out, and the singer ends up with bloody hands and a battered face.
