Lyrics

Frankie, didn't I tell you, you 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

It's a crying shame, mmmm mm
You left a trail of destruction
Heartbreaker, 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, it 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 aces

It's a crying shame, mmmm mm
You didn't win the game, heartbreaker
This time it's your first affair

Frankie..
Frankie's first affair
It's your time to cry, heartbreaker
Frankie, frankie's first affair
It's your time to cry

It's a crying shame, heartbreaker
You know now
They really did care cause it's your first affair

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

It's your turn
To cry
It's your turn
To cry
It's your turn
To cry
It's your turn
To cry

Don't you realise they really
Really
Really did care

The party's over
Now you discover
It's your turn to cry
And don't you realise
It's the toughest game

The party's over
It's your turn to cry
