Leo Sayer Frankie Lee song lyrics

on every corner of every avenuethe word's been passed all aroundbetter watch out, lock up your daughters'cause that bad frankie lee is back in townall the ladies fall for frankiesayin, frankie lee, how can it beof all the men here, you're the only onewho's got the key, to set us freeoh, frankie lee

now there's a woman, in this neighborhoodwho's loving frankie in her mindbut in fear of bein' discoveredshe keeps her secret locked up insidejust then a stone's thrown up at the windowand she looks below, what does she seethere's a man there, standing 'neath the streetlightit looks to belike frankie leeyou'd best believe

well, old frankie steals through the back doorwhile her old man is leavin' by the hallbut before she hears his footstepsfrankie's standing at the bedroom doorso she holds him, then she begs himoh frankie lee, don't 'cha ever leaveand he tells her, she's the only onehe's got the keythat frankie leeto set her free

then as the moon fades, into the night skyfrankie leaves while she's asleepthen he's up and out on the street againhe's got the key that'll set you freethat frankie lee

every kid in this ol' gangtownthey'd want to be like frankie leeplease the ladies, like a vagabondhe's got the keythat frankie leeto set them free

yeah, every kid in this ol' gangtownyeah, they'd want to be like frankie leecassanova and valentinothey'd like to be as good as frankie lee

every kid in this ol' gangtownthey'd like to be like frankie leeplease the ladies, like a vagabondhe's got the keythat frankie leeto set them free
