The first time I saw her I couldn´t be sure But the sin of impatience Said "She´s just what you´re looking for" So I walked right up to her
And with the part of me that talks I introduced myself as Frank From New York New York
She´s so hot She´s so cool I´m not I´m just a fool in love with Darling Lorraine
All my life I´ve been a wanderer Not really, I mostly lived near my parents home Anyway Lorraine and I got married Ant the usual marriage stuff Then one day she says to me From out of the blue She says, "Frank, I´ve had enough Romance is a heartbreaker
I´m not meant to be a homemaker And I´m tired of being Darling Loraine"
What!? you don´t love me anymore? What!? you´re walking out the door? What!? you don´t like the way I chew? Hey, let me tell you You´re not the woman that I wed You say you´re depressed but you´re not You just like to stay in bed I don´t need you darling Lorraine Darling Lorraine Lorraine I long for your love
Financially speaking I guess I´m a washout Everybody´s buy and sell
And sell and buy That´s what the whole thing´s all about If it had not been Lorraine I´d have left her long ago I should have been a musician I love the piano
She´s so light She´s so free I´m tight, well, that´s me But I feel so good With Darling Lorraine
On Christmas morning Frank awakes To find Loraine has made a stack of pancakes They watch the television, husband and wife All afternoon "It´s a wonderful life"
What!? you don´t love me anymore? What!? you´re walking out the door? What!? you don´t like the way I chew? Hey let me tell you You´re not the woman that I wed Gimme my robe I´m going back to bed I´m sick to death of you Lorraine
Darling Lorraine Lorraine Her hands like wood The doctor was smiling But the news wasn´t good
Darling Lorraine Please don´t leave me yet I know you´re in pain Pain you can´t forget
Your breathing is like an echo of our love Maybe I´ll go down to the corner store And buy us something sweet Here´s an extra blanket honey To wrap around your feet All the trees were washed with april rain And the moon in the meadow Took Darling Lorraine
