Lyrics Rodney Crowell – Frankie Please

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

I was rackin’ up points in the dives and the joints on the edge of town
Shooting pool, playing cool, trying to 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 P’s and Q’s 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 your 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 let’s tie the knot and fire the shot that hits the spot
Lord, have mercy, hallowed be
It ain’t a pretty picture, but it’s working on me
I’m a fool for you, Frankie, don’t let me let you go
Ah, you’re one in a million, Frankie
