人生的際遇很奇妙，有時會在毫無預期之下走上另一條人生道路。像是常有聽說陪朋友參加試鏡或是什麼遴選，結果雀屏中選的卻是自己。1944年出生的Marcie Blane高中畢業後，某次應朋友的要求，替朋友寫的歌錄製試唱帶，不意在錄音室時被Seville唱片公司的星探發掘，而與她簽約。之後唱片公司找歌給她錄唱，即是此首《Bobby's Girl》。

此曲於1962發行後，一個月內即衝上排行榜的第3名 ( 前2名實在太強，分別為四季合唱團的《Big Girls Don't Cry》及貓王的《Return to Sender》)。歌曲開始時的口語及背景合音的那句「You're not a kid anymore」，也成為了當時青少年的流行語。

 

英國女歌手Susan Maughan亦在1962翻唱此曲，在英國單曲排行榜同樣獲得了第3名。隔年，Marcie Blane再推出一首《What Does A Girl Do》，只獲得排行榜第82名，也是她出現在排行榜的唯二歌曲。

亂談(362) Big Girls Don't Cry

When people ask of me

what would you like to be,
now that you're not a kid any more?
I know just what to say,
I answer right a away.
There's just one thing
I've been wishing for.
I wanna be Bobby's girl,
I wanna be Bobby's girl.
That's the most important thing to me.
And if I was Bobby's girl;
if I was Bobby's girl,
what a faithful, thankful girl I'd be.
Each night I sit at home
hoping that he will phone,
but I know Bobby has someone else.
Still in my heart I pray,
there soon will come a day
when I will have him all to myself.
I wanna be Bobby's girl,
I wanna be Bobby's girl.
That's the most important thing to me.
And if I was Bobby's girl;
if I was Bobby's girl,
what a faithful, thankful girl I'd be.
