Sam Cooke - Frankie & Johnnie lyrics

Honey why did you do that? Frankie, I was telling her about you Frankie, you know I love you Frankie, you know that I love you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah and now Frankie Frankie you know good well that I love you Frankie I'll always love you baby Frankie, you know I can't do without you Frankie, you know I love you I'm your man and although I was doing you wrong Wrong wrong let me tell you Frankie baby you know I love you baby Frankie and I
