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

Leather jacket and his faded jeans 

And a bad attitude



But it's hard to be tough

When you're fallin' in love



(chorus)

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)

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 looks back and smiles

At how they walked down the isle

20 years have gone by

And 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
