Words & music by paul simon      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 or 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   And the usual marriage stuff   Then one day she says to me      From out of the blue   Frank, I've had enough   Romance is a heartbreaker   I'm not meant to be a homemaker   And I'm tired of being darling lorraine      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 and   And that's what the whole thing's all about   If it had not been for lorraine   I'd have left here 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 lorraine 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
