Sade – Frankie’s First Affair (with lyrics)
“Frankie’s First Affair” from Sade’s 1984 album “Diamond Life.”
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 chains
As if they’re your invention
It wasn’t your intention, Frankie
To fall in the trap you made
Oh, it’s a crying shame
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,
“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 races?
Oh, it’s a crying shame
You couldn’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 realize
They really, really, really did care?
The party’s over
Now you discover
It’s your turn to cry
And don’t you realize
It’s the toughest game?
The party’s over
It’s your turn to cry

I was a little older when I first heard her, but when I did, I was hooked. I know everything she has ever done in her career. I have even been at one time, compared to looking like her a couple of years ago, that was an ultimate compliment.
