Darling Lorraine

The first time I saw her

I couldnÔÇÖt be sure

But the sin of impatience

Said ÔÇŁSheÔÇÖs just what youÔÇÖre looking forÔÇŘ

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

SheÔÇÖs so hot

SheÔÇÖs so cool

IÔÇÖm not

IÔÇÖm just a fool in love with Darling Lorraine



All my life IÔÇÖve 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

Frank, IÔÇÖve had enough

Romance is a heartbreaker

IÔÇÖm not meant to be a homemaker

And IÔÇÖm tired of being Darling Loraine



What ÔÇô you donÔÇÖt love me anymore?

What ÔÇô youÔÇÖre walking out the door?

What ÔÇô you donÔÇÖt like the way I chew?

Hey let me tell you

YouÔÇÖre not the woman that I wed

You say youÔÇÖre depressed but youÔÇÖre not

You just like to stay in bed

I donÔÇÖt need you darling Lorraine

Darling Lorraine

Lorraine

I long for your love



Financially Speaking

I guess IÔÇÖm a washout

EverybodyÔÇÖs buy and sell

And sell and buy and

And thatÔÇÖs what the whole thingÔÇÖs all about

If it had not been Lorraine

IÔÇÖd have left her long ago

I should have been a musician

I love the piano

SheÔÇÖs so light

SheÔÇÖs so free

IÔÇÖm tight, well, thatÔÇÖs 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 ÔÇŁItÔÇÖs a wonderful lifeÔÇŘ



What ÔÇô you donÔÇÖt love me anymore?

What ÔÇô youÔÇÖre walking out the door?

What ÔÇô you donÔÇÖt like the way I chew?

Hey let me tell you

YouÔÇÖre not the woman that I wed

Gimme my robe IÔÇÖm going back to bed

IÔÇÖm sick to death of you Lorraine



Darling Lorraine

Lorraine

Her hands like wood

The doctor was smiling

But the news wasnÔÇÖt good



Darling Lorraine

Please donÔÇÖt leave me yet

I know youÔÇÖre in pain

Pain you canÔÇÖt forget

Your breathing is like an echo of our love

Maybe IÔÇÖll go down to the corner store

And buy us something sweet

HereÔÇÖs 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
