Darling Lorraine

The first time I saw her
 I couldn't be sure
 But the sin of impatience
 Said "She's just what you're looking for"
 So I walked right up to her
 And with the part of me that talks
 I introduced myself as Frank
 From New York
 New York
 She's so hot
 She's so cool
 I'm not
 I'm just a fool in love with Darling Lorraine
 All my life I've been a wanderer
 Not really, I mostly lived near my parents home
 Anyway Lorraine and I got married
 Ant the usual marriage stuff
 Then one day she says to me
 From out of the blue
 She says, "Frank, I've had enough
 Romance is a heartbreaker
 I'm not meant to be a homemaker
 And I'm tired of being Darling Loraine"
 What!? you don't love me anymore?
 What!? you're walking out the door?
 What!? you don't like the way I chew?
 Hey, let me tell you
 You're not the woman that I wed
 You say you're depressed but you're not
 You just like to stay in bed
 I don't need you darling Lorraine
 Darling Lorraine
 Lorraine
 I long for your love
 Financially speaking
 I guess I'm a washout
 Everybody's buy and sell
 And sell and buy
 That's what the whole thing's all about
 If it had not been Lorraine
 I'd have left her long ago
 I should have been a musician
 I love the piano
 She's so light
 She's so free
 I'm tight, well, that's me
 But I feel so good
 With Darling Lorraine
 On Christmas morning Frank awakes
 To find Loraine has made a stack of pancakes
 They watch the television, husband and wife
 All afternoon "It's a wonderful life"
 What!? you don't love me anymore?
 What!? you're walking out the door?
 What!? you don't like the way I chew?
 Hey let me tell you
 You're not the woman that I wed
 Gimme my robe I'm going back to bed
 I'm sick to death of you Lorraine
 Darling Lorraine
 Lorraine
 Her hands like wood
 The doctor was smiling
 But the news wasn't good
 Darling Lorraine
 Please don't leave me yet
 I know you're in pain
 Pain you can't forget
 Your breathing is like an echo of our love
 Maybe I'll go down to the corner store
 And buy us something sweet
 Here's an extra blanket honey
 To wrap around your feet
 All the trees were washed with april rain
 And the moon in the meadow
 Took Darling Lorraine
