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
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 tearfilled 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 ruuuuuunn
