BOBBIE WAS
A BEAUTIFUL GIRL
FROM A SMALL TOWN IN
A GREAT BIG WORLD
HER DADDY OWNED THE
CORNER STORE OFFA
SEVENTH AVENUE
AND DANNY JOE
JUST TURNED NINETEEN
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
FALLIN' IN LOVE
A-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 BOBBIE WITH
A REAL STERN HAND
SAID HE NEVER WOULD
UNDERSTAND JUST
A-WHAT SHE SAW IN HIM
AFTER WORKIN' AT
THE STORE ALL DAY
BRINGIN' IN
AN HONEST DAY'S PAY
MAN YOU SHOULD'VE
SEEN HIS FACE WHEN
DANNY JOE WALKED IN
SAYIN' PLEASE
UNDERSTAND
WITH A RING IN HIS HAND
A-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
NOW HE LOOKS BACK
AND HE SMILES
AT HOW THEY WALKED
DOWN THE AISLE
TWENTY YEARS HAVE
GONE BY
HE REMEMBERS IT STILL
HOW SHE BENT HIS WILL
WITH A LOOK
IN HER EYES
NOW HE KNOWS
SHE WAS RIGHT
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
A-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
