Intro

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 Gosh, 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

Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married

Just you wait and see

Got in my car and I 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 sneaking 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's the last words Julie said

Daddy please don't it wasn't his fault

He means so much to me

Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married

run, Joey run, Joey run

 Joey run, Joey run

 Joey run, Joey run
