You lead a life inside of your mind
|
That has nothing to do whatsoever with my time
|
She stated very clear
|
She made it very plain
|
|
Your subplot world is so cavalier
|
Yet you knew the tension inside the sweetness was so near
|
She stated very clear
|
She made it very plain
|
In a way that needs no refrain
|
|
Frankie and Johnny were lovers alright
|
A man and a woman toughened by the weight of time
|
But not quite as hard as they seem
|
Because they both have hearts awaiting dreams
|
|
Frankie, a tough gal when she needs to be
|
Johnny, a city hard street man
|
A softer side seen eventually
|
But they'll both be ok even with a heartbreak yesterday
|
|
Oh when a gentle breeze takes love liberties
|
When a breath of air
|
Blows your heart a pair
|
Of kisses where
|
You wait for her
|
|
Frankie and Johnny were lovers alright
|
And the tempered scale of experience
|
Cannot forever indict
|
Two hearts looking to belong in the heat
|
Of the sun as opposed to night
|
|
No, I wouldn't worry about them
|
'Cos people in love cannot condemn
|
Those who are in love too
|
Frankie and Johnny were lovers alright
|
