Lyrics

Being alone at night makes me sad girl
Yet brings may down all right
Tossing and turning and freezing and burning
And crying all through the night
Oh, Julie, Julie, Julie
Do ya love me?
Julie, Julie, Julie
Do you care?
Julie, Julie
Are you thinking of me?
Julie, Julie
Will you still be there?
We had so much fun together
I was sure that you were mine
But leaving you baby
Is driving me crazy?
It’s got me wondering all the time
Oh, Julie, Julie, Julie
Do ya love me?
Julie, Julie, Julie
Do you care?
Julie, Julie
Are you thinking of me?
Julie, Julie
Will you still be there?
Honey you cried the day I left you
Even though we knew I couldn’t stay
But baby remember I’ll be back September
But till then I’ll write you everyday
Oh, Julie, Julie, Julie
Do ya love me?
Julie, Julie, Julie
Do you care?
Julie, Julie
Are you thinking of me?
Julie, Julie
Will you still be there?
Oh, Julie, Julie, Julie
Do ya love me?
Julie, Julie, Julie
Do you care?
Julie, Julie
Are you thinking of me?
Julie, Julie
Will you still be there?
