Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
La, da-da-da, da-da-da
(La-da-da-da-da)
La, da-da-da, da-da-da
If I told you how much I think about her
You'd think I was in love
And if you knew how much I looked at her pictures
You would think we're best friends
'Cause I know her star sign, I know her blood type
I've seen every movie she's been in, and, oh God, she's beautiful
And I know you loved her, and I know I'm butthurt
But I can't help it, no, I can't help it
I'm so obsessed with your ex (uh-huh)
I know she's been asleep on my side of your bed
And I can feel it
I'm starin' at her like I wanna get hurt
And I remember
Every detail you have ever told me, so be careful, baby
I'm so obsessed with your ex (ah)
Yeah, I'm so obsessed with your ex (ah)
La, da-da-da, da-da-da
She's got those lips, she's got those hips
The life of every fuckin' party
She's talented, she's good with kids
She even speaks kindly about me, ah-ah
And I know you love me, and I know it's crazy
But every time you call my name, I think you mistake me for her
You both have moved on, you don't even talk
But I can't help it, I got issues, I can't help it, baby
I'm so obsessed with your ex
I know she's been asleep on my side of your bed
And I can feel it
I'm starin' at her like I wanna get hurt
And I remember
Every detail you have ever told me, so be careful, baby
I'm so obsessed with your ex (ah)
Yeah, I'm so obsessed with your ex (ah)
Is she friends with your friends? Is she good in bed?
Do you think about her? No, I'm fine, it doesn't matter, tell me
Is she easy-going? Ever controlling?
Well-traveled? Well-read? Oh God, she makes me so upset
I'm so obsessed with your ex (ah)
She's been asleep on my side of your bed (ah), whoa
I'm so obsessed with your ex (God, she makes me so upset)
I'm so obsessed with your, with your ex
(La-da-da-da-da)
La, da-da-da, da-da-da
If I told you how much I think about her

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
