Frankie Lee Lyrics - Singles - Sayer Leo

Leo Sayer & Ray Parker, Jr. 

on every corner of every avenue 

the word's been passed all around 

better watch out, lock up your daughters 

'cause that bad frankie lee is back in town 

all the ladies fall for frankie 

sayin, frankie lee, how can it be 

of all the men here, you're the only one 

who's got the key, to set us free 

oh, frankie lee 

now there's a woman, in this neighborhood 

who's loving frankie in her mind 

but in fear of bein' discovered 

she keeps her secret locked up inside 

just then a stone's thrown up at the window 

and she looks below, what does she see 

there's a man there, standing 'neath the streetlight 

it looks to be 

like frankie lee 

you'd best believe 

well, old frankie steals through the back door 

while her old man is leavin' by the hall 

but before she hears his footsteps 

frankie's standing at the bedroom door 

so she holds him, then she begs him 

oh frankie lee, don't 'cha ever leave 

and he tells her, she's the only one 

he's got the key 

that frankie lee 

to set her free 

then as the moon fades, into the night sky 

frankie leaves while she's asleep 

then he's up and out on the street again 

he's got the key that'll set you free 

that frankie lee 

every kid in this ol' gangtown 

they'd want to be like frankie lee 

please the ladies, like a vagabond 

he's got the key 

that frankie lee 

to set them free 

yeah, every kid in this ol' gangtown 

yeah, they'd want to be like frankie lee 

cassanova and valentino 

they'd like to be as good as frankie lee 

every kid in this ol' gangtown 

they'd like to be like frankie lee 

please the ladies, like a vagabond 

he's got the key 

that frankie lee 

to set them free
