To me it's a rouse, man. It's a cover. See, he wants this gal, wants her bad and all this stuff about it maybe bein' the weather that has got him blue is just a fake. He wants her bad, see. See, he's gone to all this trouble to recollect what she's like, gone to all this trouble to convince HER that HE is not into her in a big way, but it's clear to me that he is. Particularly 'cos of the last line in the song 'I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear.' Nobody can picture anybody clearly unless there's love there. Maybe Bob didn't know that just then, or maybe he was hidin' it...
