Everything But The Girl - Me And Bobby D Lyrics






Me and Bobby D don't get along that easily.
You told the world, "Be free, love life".
Tell me, is it true you beat your wife?
You see, me and Bobby D don't get along that easily.
You told the world, "Skip rules fave fun".
Knocked her from here to kingdom come?
How many girls have you had today?
And how many bottles have you downed today?
And while you're on the skids, who's minding the kids?

Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss,
don't worry your pretty head about this.

Me and Saint Jack K never had too much to say.
It's easy driving with your feet,
with some good ol' girl in the passenger seat
watching the road all day,
"Oh honey, what funny things you do say."
But while you're out of your head
who's making the bed?

Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss,
don't worry your pretty head about this.
Go to sleep Saint Jack K,
don't worry your tiny head today

Me and old Bobby D don't get along that famously
A saviour and a seer? Maybe,
but he never meant that much to me.
Sure, I'd love a wild life,
but every wild man needs a mother or wife.
The seven seas you roam
and who's waiting at home?

Everything But The Girl Me And Bobby D Comments
  1. l.... ....

    Got hip to them via "Driving" and bought the CD and this CD was fire!! Love their vocals and arrangement

  2. P.... F....

    I just heard EBTG's "My Baby Don't Love Me" for the first time on a Pandora EBTG station, and was immediately struck by how much it sounded like this song, "Me and Bobby D."

    Not just because there is a notable sax presence but in overall upbeat bouncy clipped beat and musical phrasing.

    I see that it is also on the same "The Language of Life" album. I've never heard the entire album so to someone familiar with it, were these two songs supposed to be sort of musical "bookends," telling two related stories and thus the similar musical styles?

  3. D.... J....

    I've heard and read that this tune was about the Kennedys? "Sure I love the wild life but every wild man needs a mother or a wife", so true.

    D.... J....

    The reference to "Saint Jack K"? About the Kennedy's. Who's Bobby D?

    D.... J....

    Daniel Johnston I assumed it was about Bob Dylan! I’ve actually been looking through the comments hoping someone would know and post.

  4. a.... ....

    🎹 Love this album! So underrated...

  5. c.... k....

    I love this band and the type of genre they sing sophisti-pop better then all that other b.s. type of pop music cuz its for smart people

  6. P.... S....

    Great song but sad as well. If you listen carefully to the lyrics, it's a song about an abusive relationship. Really sad.

  7. D.... M....
