Lyrics
My life is totally prepared for a gigantic change right now
I'm genuinely ready to be married
Right, then why aren't you?
Right, right, right, right
Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
You could drive a person crazy
You could drive a person mad
Ba-da-da
First you make a person all hazy
So a person could be heard
Ba-da-da
Then you leave a person dangling sadly
Outside your door
Which it only makes a person gladly
Want you even more
I could understand a person
If she said to go away
Ba-da-da
I could understand a person
If she happened to be gay
You think?
Do I know?
Nah!
But worse than that
A person that
Titillates a person and then leaves him flat
Is crazy
She's a troubled person
She's a truly crazy person herself
Dirty flirt
You feminist
I just don't understand
That time in a month?
When a person's personality is personable
She shouldn't oughta sit on her butt
It's harder than a matador coercin' a bull
To try to get you outa your rut
So single and attentive and attractive a chick
Is everything a person could wish
But turning off a person is the act of a chick
Who likes to pull the hooks out of fish
Knock-knock! Is anybody there?
Knock-knock! It really isn't fair
Not fair, not fair, not fair
Knock-knock! I'm workin' all my charms
I'm workin' all my charms, I'm workin' all my
Knock-knock! A zombie's in my arms
All that sweet affection
What is wrong?
Where's the loose connection?
How long, oh Lord, how long?
Bobbie-baby-Bobbie-bubbi-Bobbie
You could drive a person frantic
You could blow a person's cool
Like you get a person all romantic
While you make 'em feel a fool
Ba-da
When a person says you just don't get her
That's when you're good
You impersonate a person better
Than a zombie should
I could understand a person
If she wasn't good in bed
(She's good! No shit!)
I could understand a person
If she actually was dead
Ba-da-da-da
Exclusive you!
Elusive you!
Will any person ever get the juice of you?
You're crazy
You're a troubled person
You're a moving
Deeply maladjusted
Never to be trusted
Crazy person yourself
Bobbie is my hobby, and I'm givin' it up!
