Lyrics Rodney Crowell

Rodney Crowell

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 rackin' up points in the dives and the joints on the edge of town

Shooting pool, playing cool, trying to 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 P's and Q's and don'ts 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 your 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 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 you to know
