Sade › Lyrics › Frankie's First Affair

Frankie, didn't I tell you?
You've got the world
In the palm of your hand
Frankie, didn't I tell you they're running
At your command?

You know the tricks
As if they're your invention
It wasn't your intention
Frankie, to fall in the trap you made

Ohh, it's a crying shame, mmm
You left a trail of destruction
Heart breaker you know now
They really did care 'cause it's your first affair

Frankie, didn't I tell you that the lion
Would come in for the kill?
Frankie, didn't I say he had power
Over your sweet skill?

So where is the laughter
You spat right in their faces?
Didn't I tell you Frankie
That you might run out of races?

Ohh, it's a crying shame, mmm
You couldn't win the game
Heart breaker this time, this time
It's your first affair

Frankie, Frankie's first affair
It's your turn to cry, heart breaker
Frankie, Frankie's first affair
It's your turn to cry

It's a crying shame
Heart breaker
You know now they really did care
'Cause it's your first affair

Frankie, Frankie's first affair
Frankie, Frankie's first affair

Wha, da, an, dee, da, do, wha, da, an, dee, da, do
(It's your turn to cry, it's your turn to cry)
Wha, da, an, dee, da, do, wha, da, an, dee, da, do
(It's your turn to cry, it's your turn to cry)

Don't you realize they really really really did care
The parties over, now you discover, it's your turn to cry
And don't you realize
Ooh, it's the toughest thing, yes it is, yes it is
The party's over, it's your turn to cry

Wha, da, an, dee, da, do, wha, da, an, dee, da, do
Mmm
Wha, da, an, dee, da, do, wha, da, an, dee, da, do
