Darling Lorraine Lyrics - Paul Simon

The first time I saw her 

I couldn't be sure 

But the sin of impatience 

Said "She's just what you're looking for" 

So I walked right up to her 

And with the part of me that talks 

I introduced myself as Frank 

From New York

She's so hot 

She's so cool 

I'm not 

I'm just a fool in love with Darling Lorraine 

All my life I've been a wanderer 

Not really, I mostly lived near my parents home 

Anyway Lorraine and I got married 

Ant the usual marriage stuff 

Then one day she says to me 

From out of the blue 

She says, "Frank, I've had enough 

Romance is a heartbreaker 

I'm not meant to be a homemaker 

And I'm tired of being Darling Loraine"

What!? you don't love me anymore? 

What!? you're walking out the door? 

What!? you don't like the way I chew? 

Hey, let me tell you 

You're not the woman that I wed 

You say you're depressed but you're not 

You just like to stay in bed 

I don't need you darling Lorraine 

Darling Lorraine 

Lorraine 

I long for your love 

Financially speaking 

I guess I'm a washout 

Everybody's buy and sell 

And sell and buy 

That's what the whole thing's all about 

If it had not been Lorraine 

I'd have left her long ago 

I should have been a musician 

I love the piano 

She's so light 

She's so free 

I'm tight, well, that's me 

But I feel so good 

With Darling Lorraine 

On Christmas morning Frank awakes 

To find Loraine has made a stack of pancakes 

They watch the television, husband and wife 

All afternoon "It's a wonderful life" 

What!? you don't love me anymore? 

What!? you're walking out the door? 

What!? you don't like the way I chew? 

Hey let me tell you 

You're not the woman that I wed 

Gimme my robe I'm going back to bed 

I'm sick to death of you Lorraine 

Darling Lorraine 

Lorraine 

Her hands like wood 

The doctor was smiling 

But the news wasn't good 

Darling Lorraine 

Please don't leave me yet 

I know you're in pain 

Pain you can't forget 

Your breathing is like an echo of our love 

Maybe I'll go down to the corner store 

And buy us something sweet 

Here's an extra blanket honey 

To wrap around your feet 

All the trees were washed with april rain 

And the moon in the meadow 

Took Darling Lorraine
