Stevie Wonder - Frankie & Johnny lyrics

Frankie & Johnny were sweethearts

At least, that's the way the story goes

Frankie bought everything for Johnny

From his sports-car to his Ivy League clothes

Oh, he was a man allright,

Oh, but he was doing a-wrong

Just to show you what came happen

A friend came running to Frankie

Said you know I wouldn't tell you no lie

I saw your man riding in his Jaguar

With a chick named Mary Bley

Oh if he was your man honey

Let me tell you he was doing you wrong

Let me tell the story

Frankie ran around the corner

And peeked in a swinging place

And there she saw Johnny with a woman

He had his arm around her waist

Oh he was a man alright

But Frankie could see that he was doing a-wrong

Oh let me tell you

Frankie reached down in her pocketbook

And up with a long 44

She shot once, twice, three times

And Johnny fell on the hardwood floor

Oh he was a man alright

But she shot him because he was doing a-wrong

But the last thing he told her was

Frankie, you know I love you

Why, honey why did you do that

Frankie, I was telling her about you

Frankie, you know I love you

Frankie, you know that I love you

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Frankie you know good well that I love you

Frankie I'll always love you baby

Frankie, you know I can't do without you

Frankie, you know I love you

I'm your man and I know I was doing a-wrong
