Make up in Love

Bobby was a beautiful girl

From a small town in a great big world

Her daddy owned the corner store

Off of 7th Avenue

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

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

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"

Now he looks back and smiles

At how they walked down the aisle

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

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
