[Intro — spoken, smug] Obviously, baby. You don’t have to explain. I already know. [Verse 1] You said, “I’m tired,” I heard, “Come a little closer.” You looked toward the door, I thought, “She wants me over.” You paused for a second, I knew what that meant. I’ve got a gift for interpretation, baby, heaven-sent. You said, “That’s not what I—” Shhh. I understand. [Pre-Chorus] One look, one word, one tiny little sign— Why waste a beautiful evening asking what was on your mind? [Chorus — huge falsetto] Obviously, baby! I know exactly what you mean! Obviously, baby! I see everything between! No confusion, no mystery, nothing hiding underneath— Obviously, baby! Ooh! It’s obvious to me! [Verse 2] You didn’t call Tuesday. Obviously, you’re scared. You called me Wednesday. Obviously, you care. You said, “We should talk.” That practically means forever. You said, “I need some space.” So I booked us somewhere together. You said, “Please stop doing that.” I know. You love when I’m spontaneous. [Chorus] Obviously, baby! I know exactly what you mean! Obviously, baby! I see everything between! No confusion, no mystery, nothing hiding underneath— Obviously, baby! It’s obvious to me! [Funk break — spoken] Read the signal. Know the signal. Baby— I am the signal. [Verse 3] My boss said, “Interesting.” Promotion’s on the way. My doctor said, “Let’s watch it.” Means everything’s okay. My friend said, “Have you considered you might occasionally be wrong?” I said, “That’s exactly the problem— you’ve misunderstood me all along.” People hear what they want to hear. [Bridge — falsetto] I don’t need another angle, I don’t need another view. Why collect unnecessary data when I already know what’s true? There’s a simple explanation— and it’s obviously— BABY! [Final Chorus] Obviously, baby! I know exactly what you mean! Obviously, baby! Reality is nice and clean! Every question has an answer, and the answer agrees with me— Obviously, baby! It’s obvious to me! Obviously, baby! No need to look again! Obviously, baby! I can tell you how this ends! [Music stops] [Spoken female voice] You know I’m leaving you, right? [Long pause] [Male voice] … Obviously. [Beat crashes back] [Outro — falsetto] OBVIOUSLY! Obviously, baby! I knew it all along! [spoken] Exactly as I predicted. More or less. Baby?
