Sade - Frankies First Affair Lyrics






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 intemntion
Frankie to fall in the trap you made

Oohh 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 affar

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

Oohh it's a crying shame, Mmm
You couldn't win the game
Heart breaker this time (this time)
It's your first affar

Frankie, frankies first affair (it's your turn to cry)
Frankie, frankies first affair
It's your turn to cry

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

Frankie, frankies first affair
Frankie, frankies 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 realise they really really really did care
The parties over
Now you discover
It's your turn to cry

And don't you realise
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
Mmmmm
wha da an dee da do, wha da an dee da do
it's your first affair

    Of her most underrated song. Love this song

  3. A.... S....

    Is this song about the man who cheated on her or something? "It's your turn to cry"- well woman do not forget those man who used them ...

  5. O.... K....

    My first love was a ladies man.. He used to cheat on me a lot.. I loved him with my heart mind body and soul.. I would play this song 4 him when I was angry... We would fight and argue but we loved each other to death... Sadly he died in Madison county jail in Mississippi.... They ruled his death as a suicide... Till this day I listen and cry for him every once in a while.... I feel I'm the reason he is gone... Lord help me....

  13. M.... V....

    the entire song is a walking in the park, but the ending part get so delicious

  76. L.... 1....

    I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG....Getting a good point across.

  77. T.... D....

    l love sade

  78. T.... D....

    she is my girlfrend

  79. K.... ....

    who in the seven hells would date Sade, then cheat on her... i know this is old but that man is blind

    K.... ....

    +theprivateer83 inhumane nature

    K.... ....

    The song is about a friend of hers not someone who dated her ;) She mentioned before performing it live several times.

    K.... ....

    And it sounds like shes speaking to a friend...

    K.... ....

    Klaatu
    All is not as it seems throughout the world

  80. T.... ....

    I am not surprised or upset about it, but I have to be careful listening to this song - or any Sade LP - as I run the risk of having it stuck in my head for maybe weeks! This song and Jezebel in particular. I guess it is too late now - I might as well embrace the insanity. Sade, you have had your hooks in my for 30 years now. Thank you - G$

    T.... ....

    +TIPDOG Yep those two songs are her best according to me too. They tell a story.
