Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're gone, I feel alone
I bite my lips and taste my hips
Watch your eyes watching my thighs
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man for me
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man for me
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man for me
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man for me
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man for me
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man
You're so strange and it makes me feel sane
When you're gone, I feel alone
I bite my lips and taste my hips
Watch your eyes watching my thighs
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man for me
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man for me
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man for me
You're the man, you're the man
You're the man

Cool video with a much larger budget than what would have been expected for an Indie band like this. Love the female Bobbies and the fact that so many of the male fans are well beyond their teenage years.
Jan Anderson
Love it !! Go Goat girl !!!
