Frankie Please Lyrics - Tarpaper Sky - Rodney Crowell

Frankie Please-Rodney Crowell 

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 up 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'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 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 lets 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 ever let me let you go 

Ah, you're one in a million, Frankie, 

That's all I need you to know!
