Frankie Please

You tore through my life like a tornado looking for a trailer park
And your white trash mishmash short of cash culture clash hit the mark
We met on a Monday, here it is Sunday
It happened so fast, they said, "It wouldn't last"
Yeah, but what do they know?
Why can't they say so now?

I was racking new points in the dives and the joints on the edge of town
Shooting pool, playing cool, trying get some other fool to buy another round
Yeah, you rattle my brain like a runaway train
You scattered my past like a dynamite blast
You're some kind of woman, Frankie, stand up and take a bow

Frankie, please, don't ever give me the deep freeze
And your Ps, and Qs, and don't's, and do's are all the news to light my fuse
Don't change nothing, not on a dare
Ever since you hit here, I've been walking on air
I didn't see you coming, Frankie
Now, I can't let you go

And you stole into my heart like a thief with the cutting torch
Did you not?
And you can't miss, first kiss told me this, don't resist what you got
All out of nowhere, I'm caught in your crosshair
Shagged, fragged, bagged, tagged
It's like I lost every battle, but still, I won the war

Frankie, please, don't ever give me the deep freeze
In the time we've got, let's tie the knot, and fire the shot that hits the spot
Lord, have mercy, hallowed it be
It ain't a pretty picture, but it's working on me
I'm a fool for you, Frankie, don't let me let you go

Ah, you're one in a million, Frankie
That's all I need to know
