Bobby, Don’t You Think They Know? Lyrics

[Intro]
Let's hurry up
Why you walking on this side?
Get out of here
Hey
Get out of here


[Verse 1: Morrissey]
Ice snow, spikes blow
Bobby, don't you think they know?
Oh-oh, Bobby, don't you think they know?

[Chorus: Morrissey, Morrissey & Thelma Houston]
Aren't you
Tired of
Pretending?
I know your torture below
Aren't you
Tired of pretending?
I know your torture down below


[Verse 2: Morrissey & Thelma Houston, Both]
Scag a shack, Mexican mud (Uh-huh)
Little Jo in the snow, Bobby, don't you think they know? (Yeah)
Oh-oh (Oh-oh), Bobby, don't you think they know?

[Chorus: Morrissey, Morrissey & Thelma Houston]
Aren't you
Tired of pretending?
I know your torture below

[Refrain: Morrissey & Thelma Houston]
But, ah, the pleasure you bring for us
Ah, whenever you sing for us
Ah, the pleasure you bring for us
Ah, whenever you sing for us

[Verse 3: Morrissey & Thelma Houston, Both]
Eighth track (Oh, yeah), A-bomb (Come on now)
White mosquito, of course they know (Yeah)
You ain't foolin' nobody, yeah, oh
Snow king (Come on), toot-and-horse (Yeah)
Then something worse, Bobby, don't you think they know?
Don't you think they know, Bobby?
Oh-oh, Bobby, don't you think they know?

[Refrain: Morrissey & Thelma Houston]
But, ah, the pleasure you bring for us
Ah, whenever you sing for us
Ah, the pleasure you bring for us
Ah, whenever you sing for us
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Thelma Houston]
Everybody knows
You ain't foolin' nobody
Lord, have mercy for the man
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 4: Morrissey & Thelma Houston, Both]
Ice snow, spikes blow
Woah-oh, Bobby, don't you think they know?
Woah, woah, don't you think they know?
Scag a shack (Uh-huh), Mexican mud
Little Jo in the snow, Bobby, don't you think they know?
Oh-oh, of course they know (Of course they know)
Hey, yeah

[Outro: Thelma Houston]
You can't hide it
Bobby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
