Daddy please don't
It wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
Daddy please don't
We're gonna get married
Just you wait and see
Every night, the same old dream
I hate to close my eyes
I can't erase the memory
The sound of Julie's cry
She called me up, late that night
She said "Joe don't come over
My Dad and I just had a fight
And he stormed out the door
I've never seen him act this way
My God, he's goin' crazy
He said he's gonna make you pay
For what we done, he's got a gun
So run, Joey run, Joey run!"
Daddy please don't
It wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
We're gonna get married
Just you wait and see
Got in my car, drove like mad
'Til I reached Julie's place
She ran to me, with tear-filled eyes
And bruises on her face
All at once I saw him there
Sneakin' up behind me (Watch Out!)
Then Julie yelled, "He's got a gun!"
And she stepped in front of me
Suddenly, a shot rang out
And I saw Julie falling
I ran to her, I held her close
When I looked down, my hands were red!
And here are the last words Julie said...
Daddy please don't
It wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
Daddy please don't
Were gon...na get... mar...ried
Run Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run
It wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
Daddy please don't
We're gonna get married
Just you wait and see
Every night, the same old dream
I hate to close my eyes
I can't erase the memory
The sound of Julie's cry
She called me up, late that night
She said "Joe don't come over
My Dad and I just had a fight
And he stormed out the door
I've never seen him act this way
My God, he's goin' crazy
He said he's gonna make you pay
For what we done, he's got a gun
So run, Joey run, Joey run!"
Daddy please don't
It wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
