I was just listening to the Glee version of this 1975 song by David Geddes. It's such a deep and depressing song.
The song is about a girl, Julie, who becomes pregnant with her boyfriend's (Joey) baby. She tells her father but and explains "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," which is sung at the beginning and middle of the song.
Joey starts singing, saying that the events that occurred that day still haunt him when he tries to sleep at night. The night of the incident, Julie called and 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!'"
He got in his car and drove to her house. He saw Julie with bruises on her face and then her father sneaks up behind. Julie yells, "Watch out!" and she steps in front of him, taking the bullet.
Julie, lying there, says, "Daddy please don't / It wasn't his fault / He means so much to me / Daddy please don't / We're gonna get married." She never gets a chance to say the final five words.
