Lyrics

When peo ple ask of me

what would you like to be,

now that you’re (Em)not a kid an y more?

I know just what to say,

I an swer right a way.

There’s just one (Em)thing I’ve been wish ing for.

(CN.C.)I wan na be

Bob by’s girl, I wan na be

Bob by’s girl.

(F)That’s the most

im por tant thing (Dm7)to (G7)me.

(CN.C.)And if I was

Bob by’s girl;

if I was

Bob by’s girl,

(G7)what a faith ful, thank ful girl I’d (C)be.

Each night I sit at home

hop ing that he will phone,

but I know (Em)Bob by has some one else.

Still in my heart I pray,

there soon will come a day

when I will (Em)have him all to my self.

(CN.C.)I wan na be

Bob by’s girl, I wan na be

Bob by’s girl.

(F)That’s the most im por tant thing (Dm7)to (G7)me.

(CN.C.)And if I was

Bob by’s girl;

if I was

Bob by’s girl,

(G7)what a faith ful, thank ful girl I’d (C)be.
