Barry Manilow

Bobbie Lee

Her name is Bobbie Lee and she's movin'

She's gotta make her dream come true

Some might said she took a dead wrong turn

But she took the only road she knew

There's nothin' gonna stop or stall her

And luck is on her side tonight

They're pullin over to the curb to call her

Man, she loves these city lights

She says

So what's the difference

I gotta live

I gotta be somebody

And I wanna go where the apples grow

And all I need is the money

Hey mister, smile and buy my time

And I don't want you fillin' funny

Just think of Bonnie Lee like a busy bee

Gettin by by sellin' honey

She's got this picture of her brother

That she took when she left home

She rolled her hair up like her mother

With her mother's ivory comb

She was sweet sixteen last easter

But she know how to treat you right

Tomorrow she's gonna be in the movies

But she won't forget tonight

She says

So what's the difference

I gotta live

I gotta be somebody

I wanna go where the apples grow

And all that I need is the money

Hey mister, smile and buy my time

And I don't want you fellin funny

You just think of Bobbie Lee like a busy bee

Gettin' by by sellin honey

So what's the difference

I gotta live

I gotta be somebody

I gotta go where the apples grow

And all I need is the money

Hey mister, smile and buy bye time

And I don't want you fellin funny

You just keep thinking of Bobbie Lee like that busy,busy bee

Gettin' by by sellin honey
