Lyrics
I was wrong about Bobby
I misunderstood Bobby
I admit he's not the dumbest angry, young nitwit
I acknowledge he's not foolish, just an angry young person
No he can cut it with the best
Bobby is skilled, comparable to the best
And you'd better get out of his way
A warning to stay out of Bobby's way
His girlfriend keeps him living in
Bobby's girlfriend influences him negatively
A world where fear will always win
Bobby lives in a fearful world
And if you see him out tonight
A cautionary note if encountering Bobby tonight
Well, you'd better get out of his way
A repeated warning to avoid Bobby
You gotta give it up for the new modern man
Applauding the new modern man, including Bobby
He's gonna have a ball
The modern man will enjoy life
Give it all that he can
The modern man will give his all
Someday he's gonna show us all, I bet
Belief that Bobby will prove himself eventually
Out in the sun while we're all soaking wet
Contrasting Bobby's success with others' struggles
If it's a dry life that you want
Choosing a carefree life; a warning to stay away
Then you'd better get out of his way
Reiteration to keep out of Bobby's way
You gotta give it up for the new modern man
Applauding the new modern man again
He's gonna have a ball
The modern man will have a great time
Give it all that he can
The modern man will give his best effort
I was wrong about Bobby, don't you know
Admitting a previous misunderstanding about Bobby
He's had it tough and he had to make a go
Bobby faced challenges but made it through
But if he doesn't stop fucking with me
Warning Bobby to stop causing trouble
Well, he'd better get out of my way
If Bobby doesn't cease, the singer demands he stay away
Yeah, he'd better get out of my way
Reiterating that Bobby should stay out of the singer's way
He'd better get out of my way
A final warning for Bobby to avoid confrontation
