(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! 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 (Woman's voice: 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... (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!!!
