Lauran said in a live performance that Frankie is a real person, but he has never had a girlfriend. The song is about a dream she had.
Frankie's girlfriend said to me
I heard you talking in your sleep
About my boyfriend, about my boyfriend
Frankie's girlfriend is giving me grief
She's only lived here for a week
She's been looking at me like she wants me to leave
Now I can't sleep at night
Too scared to close my eyes
I'm going crazy
This psychopath is ruining my life
And I want to tell him what you're like
That's why he's been running round my mind
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that cruel
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that cruel
Frankie's girlfriend said to me
I saw you walking on the beach
He was looking at you the way he used to look at me
Frankie's girlfriend don't you see
I've known Frankie since we were three
That's why I let you crash here for free
Now I can't sleep at night
Too scared to close my eyes
I'm going crazy
This psychopath is ruining my life
And I want to tell him what you're like
That's why he's been running round my mind
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that cruel
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that cruel
She said where did you go
She said how did it start
I said we sat in car parks and we talked 'til it got dark
There's nothing you should know
Don't call me a goddam liar
Frankie's just my friend and I love him like a child
Now I can't sleep at night
Too scared to close my eyes
I'm going crazy
This psychopath is ruining my life
And I want to tell him what you're like
That's why he's been running round my mind
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that cruel
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that
I wouldn't be that cruel
