Well, Kris Kristofferson indeed performed his composition, but (at least according to this page) referred to Bobby as “her” when he recorded the song. Then again, this site suggests Kris sang Janis Joplin’s version of the lyrics on at least one occasion. I still have my old vinyl album that containsGordon Lightfoot’s take on the tune, so I know that Gord refers to Bobby as female. When Melissa Etheridge decided to cover the song, there was some speculation as to whether she’d use masculine or feminine pronouns to refer to Bobby. As I recall, some of Melissa’s concert versions acknowledged Etheridge’s own lesbianism, while others featured Janis’s heterosexual interpretation of the lyrics.
Upon further review, I see Fish42 beat me to You Light Up My Life. I also believe someone got btw12, which is Always and Forever by Heatwave. ddg-11 is Billy Joel’s Stiletto.

I’ll renumber my old songs and provide still more clues:

And it was strange when you called my name, Ever since that day I haven’t been the same
Before I met you my sun didn’t want to shine

Nothing more to say, no more ace to play
I don’t wanna talk, if it makes you feel sad
And I understand - you’ve come to shake my hand
And still more songs:
btw22 - Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you
btw23 - You always said the cards would never do you wrong
btw24 - I was shakin’ like a leaf on a tree
btw25 - You’re the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasies
btw26 - I can see you’re out of aces
btw27 - My love is vengeance / That’s never free
btw28 - This’ll be the end today / Of the wanted man
