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 cries
She called me up late that night
And 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 going crazy
He says he's gonna make you pay
For what we've 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
