Darling Lorraine |
| 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 heart breaker |
| 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 |
| 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 |
