|
Bobby was a beautiful girl |
|
From a small town in a great big world |
|
Her daddy owned the corner store |
|
Off of 7th Ave |
|
Danny-Jo just turned 19 |
|
Cigarettes rolled under his sleeve |
|
His leather jacket and his faded jeans |
|
And a bad attitude |
|
But it's hard to be tough |
|
When you're falling in love |
|
(chorus) |
|
And he said: |
|
I know I'm down on my knees |
|
But I wanna be the one your only one |
|
I'm beggin' you please |
|
And I know that I don't have that much |
|
But for whatever I don't have |
|
I'll make up in love |
|
Her daddy was a simple man |
|
He raised Bobby with a real stern hand |
|
Said he never would understand |
|
Just what she saw in him |
|
After workin' at the store all day |
|
Bringin' in an honest day's pay |
|
Man you shoulda seen his face |
|
When Danny-Jo walked in |
|
Sayin' please understand |
|
With a ring in his hand |
|
(chorus) |
|
And he said: |
|
I know I'm down on my knees |
|
But I wanna be the one her only one |
|
I'm beggin' you please |
|
And I know that I don't have that much |
|
But for whatever I don't have |
|
I'll make up in love |
|
(Bridge) |
|
Now he lookes back and smiles |
|
At how they walked down the isle |
|
20 years have gone by |
|
He remembers it still |
|
How she bid his will |
|
With a look in her eyes |
|
Now he knows she was right |
|
(chorus) |
|
When she said: |
|
Daddy, I'm down on my knees |
|
But I wanna be the one his only one |
|
I'm beggin' you please |
|
And I know that he don't have that much |
|
But for whatever we don't have |
|
We'll make up in love |
|
And for whatever they don't have |
|
They make up in love |
