Leo Sayer - Frankie Lee lyrics
Writers: leo sayer & ray parkerjr.
On every corner of every avenue
The word's been passed all around
Better watch outlock up your daughters
'cause that bad frankie lee is back in town
All the ladies fall for frankie
Sayinfrankie leehow can it be
Of all the men hereyou're the only one
Who's got the keyto set us free
Ohfrankie lee
Now there's a womanin this neighborhood
Who's loving frankie in her mind
But in fear of bein' discovered
She keeps her secret locked up inside
Just then a stone's thrown up at the window
And she looks belowwhat does she see
There's a man therestanding 'neath the streetlight
It looks to be
Like frankie lee
You'd best believe
Wellold frankie steals through the back door
While her old man is leavin' by the hall
But before she hears his footsteps
Frankie's standing at the bedroom door
So she holds himthen she begs him
Oh frankie leedon't 'cha ever leave
And he tells hershe's the only one
He's got the key
That frankie lee
To set her free
Then as the moon fadesinto the night sky
Frankie leaves while she's asleep
Then he's up and out on the street again
He's got the key that'll set you free
That frankie lee
Every kid in this ol' gangtown
They'd want to be like frankie lee
Please the ladieslike a vagabond
He's got the key
That frankie lee
To set them free
Yeahevery kid in this ol' gangtown
Yeahthey'd want to be like frankie lee
Cassanova and valentino
They'd like to be as good as frankie lee
Every kid in this ol' gangtown
They'd like to be like frankie lee
Please the ladieslike a vagabond
He's got the key
That frankie lee
To set them free
