(Chorus- woman's voice)

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!"


(Chorus- woman's voice)


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


I got in my car, and 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 the driveway (Woman's voice: Watch out!)
Julie yelled, "He's got a gun!"

And she stepped in front of me

Then 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

(Woman's voice)


Daddy please don't
It wasn't his fault

He means so much to me
Daddy please don't
We're gon...na get... mar...ried......


Run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey ruuuuuunn!!!
