    (You're not a kid anymore,        you're not a kid anymore.)

1.     When people ask of me,            what would you like to be,

F                                 Em                     - F                         G

    now that your not a kid anymore ?          (You're not a kid anymore.)

C                                       - Am

    I know just what to say,          I answer right away,

F                             Em                              Dm - G

    there's just one thing I've been wishing for.

 

 - - - - - - - -  - C                                           - Am

I want to be        Bobby's girl, I want to be             Bobby's girl,

   F                                                 G

that's the most important thing to me.

 - - - - - - - -   - C                                    - F

And if I was         Bobby's girl, if I was          Bobby's girl,

    G                   G7                   C

what a faithful, thankful girl I'd be.

 

    C                                         - Am

2.     Each night I sit at home,             hoping that he will phone,

F                     Em                           Dm                        G

    but I know Bobby has someone else. (You're not a kid anymore.)

C                                     - Am

    Still in my heart I pray,          there soon will come the day,

F                     Em                      Dm   - G

    when I will have him all to myself.

 

                                   G                   G7                  C

+ CHORUS        + What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be.

 

     - - - - - - - -   - C                                           - Am

    I want to be        Bobby's girl, I want to be             Bobby's girl,

     - - - - - - - -   - C                                        

    I want to be        Bobby's girl …
