Bobby Lyrics

Your daddy worked for the TVA

'Til they stopped sending home his pay

But you can't leave Bobby, you were about to make state

I'll put those bastards in their graves

My hands twitch, Bobby, when I see you in class

I leave sweaty imprints on the plastic maps

Tongs and beakers mean broken glass

But you keep walking on past

You keep walking on past

News traveled quick, you hardly got the chance

Before the last big game or Sadie Hawkins dance

To notice the boy in the corduroy pants

Who would scream your name from the stands

If I blamed you, Bobby, it's 'cause it felt so plain

How my heart beat with it's dull dull ache

The boys were clapping and the girls were stomping

Could you hear my voice in the rain

Could you heard my voice in the rain

Bobby, I think I love you

Bobby, I think I love you

Foam fingers wrapped in plastic

Peanut shells falling under the rafters

I'm betting on sweet hereafters

Bobby, I think I love you

Bobby, I think I love you

Bobby, I think I love you

Bobby, I think I love you

Yes, I love you

Bobby, I love you
