Lyrics
When I spot a driver worth a second glance,
Expressing interest in a noteworthy driver.
Foot to floorboard, impact soon achieved.
Accelerating rapidly, aiming for a quick impact.
Here comes Bob!
Introduction of a character named Bob.
I ain't subtle in my ways of making friends,
Admitting to a lack of subtlety in making friends.
Girl, this rubbled mess was caused by my neglect.
Acknowledging the mess caused by neglect.
Of course, I'll pay and by the way, my dear,
Committing to pay for the consequences.
Here comes Bob!
Reiteration of the arrival of Bob.
I ain't subtle in my ways of making friends.
Reaffirmation of a direct approach to making friends.
Sometimes I'll stoop to hitting
Occasionally resorting to physical means to befriend others.
Two-door coupes without the frills,
Targeting simple cars for casual connections.
But that's just for casual acquaintances,
Explaining the purpose of such interactions for stripped-down thrills.
For stripped-down thrills.
Preference for simplicity in certain relationships.
Your car, girl; or mine?
Offering a choice between their car or the speaker's.
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter, no,
Emphasizing the indifference to the choice of the vehicle.
But for affairs with staying power
Expressing a preference for long-lasting affairs with luxurious cars.
I go after limousines.
Preferring limousines for relationships with staying power.
It's always nice if something big
Highlighting the advantage of having something significant as an intermediary.
Is acting as your go-between.
Expressing a positive aspect of involving something big in relationships.
And for group encounters I'll hit buses,
Indicating a willingness to engage in group encounters involving buses, mobile homes, or trains.
Mobile homes, or trains to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Specifically mentioning Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as a possible destination.
It's hard to make acquaintances in our big town;
Highlighting the difficulty of making connections in a large town.
Most eyes stare at nothing much at all.
Observing the lack of focus in the eyes of most people in the town.
But here comes Bob!
Reintroducing Bob in the context of the challenging environment.
I ain't subtle in my ways of making friends,
Reaffirming the straightforward approach to making friends despite challenges.
Friends, acquaintances!
Expanding the scope to include friends and acquaintances.
Instant adulation comes to some at birth,
Reflecting on the instant admiration some people receive from birth.
Born to queens or corporate entities.
Identifying individuals born into privileged positions.
But here comes Bob!
Reiterating the presence and arrival of Bob.
Someday they'll put me away;
Anticipating a future where the speaker is confined.
I'll think back on active days.
Reflecting on past active days and the experiences gained.
Most were worth the minor scars,
Acknowledging minor scars as part of worthwhile experiences.
Some were worth the damaged cars,
Recognizing the value of some interactions despite resulting in damaged cars.
And the judge will say to me:
Anticipating judgment for the means used to achieve worthwhile ends.
"Bob, you've got a bad means to a worthwhile end."
Addressing the speaker as Bob and acknowledging a questionable approach to a positive outcome.
Well, here comes Bob!
Final declaration of the imminent arrival of Bob.
