You lead a life inside of your mind
That has nothing to do whatsoever with my time
She stated very clear
She made it very plain
Your subplot world is so cavalier
Yet you knew the tension inside the sweetness was so near
She stated very clear
She made it very plain
In a way that needs no refrain
Frankie and Johnny were lovers alright
A man and a woman toughened by the weight of time
But not quite as hard as they seem
Because they both have hearts awaiting dreams
Frankie, a tough gal when she needs to be
Johnny, a city hard street man
A softer side seen eventually
But they'll both be ok even with a heartbreak yesterday
Oh when a gentle breeze takes love liberties
When a breath of air
Blows your heart a pair
Of kisses where
You wait for her
Frankie and Johnny were lovers alright
And the tempered scale of experience
Cannot forever indict
Two hearts looking to belong in the heat
Of the sun as opposed to night
No, I wouldn't worry about them
'Cos people in love cannot condemn
Those who are in love too
Frankie and Johnny were lovers alright
