Obvious Lyrics
Hey (hey) (hey) (hey) (hey) (hey), you!
You don't know me
You don't know me
But you just keep on looking at me down low
Oh no
Digging something up
Digging something up
Always digging something up
Oh no
Hey (hey) (hey) (hey) (hey) (hey), you!
I don't know you
I don't even want to
But you just keep on looking at me down low
Oh no
Digging something up
Digging something up
Always digging something up
Oh no
And you make it so
Make it so obvious...
Hey (hey) (hey) (hey) (hey) (hey), you!
Now fools don't fit in
The boots that I tread in
But you just keep on looking at me down low
Oh no
Digging something up
Digging something up
Always digging something up
Oh no
And you make it so
But do you get it?
Make it so
You never get it
And you know that you got to show me something before you know what is joke and what is up
I worked my fingers to the bone and I won't let you stop me going up
Why do you have to make it so, so, so, so, so, so, OBVIOUS!?
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Hey
You don't know me
You don't know me
But you just keep on looking at me down low
Oh no
Digging something up
Digging something up
Always digging something up
Oh no
I don't know you
I don't even want to
But you just keep on looking at me down low
Oh no
Digging something up
Digging something up
Always digging something up
Oh no
And you make it so
Make it so obvious...
Now fools don't fit in
The boots that I tread in
But you just keep on looking at me down low
Oh no
Digging something up
Digging something up
Always digging something up
Oh no
But do you get it?
Make it so
You never get it
And you know that you got to show me something before you know what is joke and what is up
I worked my fingers to the bone and I won't let you stop me going up
Why do you have to make it so, so, so, so, so, so, OBVIOUS!?
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

In this song, I think Perry is commenting on how the media always tries to tear down anybody famous who is doing well, looking for sleaze and scandel about them (digging something up).
I think this song is about how much Eric Avery disliked Perry at the time. Perry was saying it was so obvious that Eric wanted to keep making Perry feel like shit by always pointing out the negative.
top 10 songs of all time, no joke. I love everything about it.
This song can be be related to anybody who's trying to make something out of themselves in the world where there's always somebody trying to bring them down and get them confused from their dream of existence.
This is just another song directed at Eric Avery. Who was rumored to be very critical of behaviors he did not approve of. And example of this is when he joined Jane’s again like 10 years ago. He’d only agree to do it on stipulation that other band members would stop doing things he found uncool. Like Dave’s radio show, or Perry’s side projects.
