Song Meaning
"Bobby Sox was originally about just sitting on the sofa or going to a movie with my missus. It was sort of more about our relationship, but I flipped the script a little bit with the second chorus where it goes into "do you wanna be my boyfriend?" So I sort of flipped the gender thing before on Basket Case, but this one gives it a whole new level. Sort of turns the song into a queer anthem." (SiriusXM, 2024)
Lyrics
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
I'll take you to a movie that we've already seen
Or sit at home and watch reruns
There's no other place I wanna be
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
We'll walk the cemetery and I'll kiss you again
And make our dead friends blush, oh-whoa
We'll be getting married right there on the scene
Do you wanna be my best friend?
You can drive me crazy all over again
And I'll bore you to death, oh-whoa
Doesn't matter when we are in love
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
You're not just any type of girl, yeah
My one true love, and you're my world, yeah
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my
Do you wanna be my friend?
Do you wanna be my
I'll take you to a movie that we've already seen
Or sit at home and watch reruns
There's no other place I wanna be
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
We'll walk the cemetery and I'll kiss you again
And make our dead friends blush, oh-whoa
We'll be getting married right there on the scene
Do you wanna be my best friend?
You can drive me crazy all over again
And I'll bore you to death, oh-whoa
Doesn't matter when we are in love
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
You're not just any type of girl, yeah
My one true love, and you're my world, yeah
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my
Do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
Do you wanna be my
Do you wanna be my friend?
Do you wanna be my
