Frankie's First Affair lyrics

Frankie, didn't I tell you

You've got the world in the palm of your hand?

Frankie, didn't I tell you

They're running at your command?

You know the tricks as if they're your invention

It wasn't your intention, Frankie, to fall in the trap you made

Oh, it's a crying shame

You left a trail of destruction

Heartbreaker, you know now they really did care

'Cause it's your first affair

Frankie, didn't I tell you

That the lion would come in for the kill?

Frankie, didn't I say

He had power over your sweet skill?

So where is the laughter you spat right in their faces?

Didn't I tell you, Frankie, that you might run out of races?

Oh, it's a crying shame

You couldn't win the game

Heartbreaker, this time, this time

It's your first affair

Frankie, Frankie's first affair

It's your turn to cry, heartbreaker

Frankie, Frankie's first affair

It's your turn to cry

It's a crying shame, heartbreaker

You know now they really did care

'Cause it's your first affair

Frankie, Frankie's first affair

Frankie, Frankie's first affair

It's your turn to cry (×4)

Don't you realise they really, really, really did care?

The party's over

Now you discover

It's your turn to cry

And don't you realise

Ooh, it's the toughest thing? Yes, it is, yes, it is

The party's over

It's your turn to cry

It's your turn to cry
