|
Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts |
|
At least that's the way the story goes |
|
Frankie bought everything for Johnny |
|
From his sports car to his Ivy League clothes |
|
Aw, he was a man alright |
|
Oh, but he was doing her wrong |
|
Just to show you what can happen |
|
A friend came running to Frankie |
|
She said you know I wouldn't tell you no lie |
|
I saw your man ridin' in his Jaguar |
|
With a chick named Nellie Blye |
|
Oh, if he was your man honey |
|
Let me tell you he was doing you wrong |
|
Let me tell the story |
|
Frankie ran around the corner |
|
And peeked in a swinging place |
|
And there she saw Johnny with a woman |
|
He had his arms around her waist |
|
Aw...he was a man alright |
|
But Frankie could see that he was |
|
Doing her wrong |
|
And oh let me tell you |
|
Frankie reached down in her pocketbook |
|
And up with a long forty-four |
|
She shot once, twice, three times |
|
And Johnny fell on the hard wood floor |
|
Aw...he was a man alright |
|
But she shot him because he was doing her wrong |
|
But the last thing he told her was |
|
Frankie, you know I love you |
|
Why? Honey, why did you do that? |
|
Frankie, I was telling her about you |
|
Frankie, you know I love you |
|
Frankie, you know that I love you |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
Now Frankie, you know good and well that I love you |
|
Frankie, I'll always love you baby |
|
Frankie, you know I can't do without you |
|
Frankie, you know I love you |
|
And I know, and I know I was doing wrong |
|
You wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong |
|
Frankie, baby, you know I love you |
|
Frankie... |
