BOBBY
(Davis / Porter)

Neil Scott - 1961


(Oh, Bobby, oh-oh, Bobby)
(Come back to me)

A lonely teenage girl was in the hospital
She lay there unconscious in her bed
The doctors had done all they could
Now they could only wait
She tossed and turned, but all she ever said

(Oh-oh-oh) was "Bobby (Bobby)
Oh-oh, Bobby ("Where are you, darling?")
Oh, Bobby, come back to me

The doctors said she seemed to lack the will to live
They said the boy called Bobby must be found
But what the doctors didn't know
Is they had had a fight
Till someone told them Bobby had left town

The doctors felt that there was little hope for her
But true love had never really died
And suddenly when all seemed lost
Every prayer came true
'Cause there was Bobby kneeling by her side

Oh-oh-oh, Bobby ("I'm here darling")
(Oh-oh, Bobby) ("I'll never leave you again")
Oh, Bobby, come back to me

(Oh, babe, oh-oh-oh, Bobby)
Come back to me
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby ...... FADE)
