Smelling her books I asked her
Why she took such a long time,
I feel so dead
Once I thought I heard
Her daddy's minah bird
Said frankly, Frankly she said

Frankly my dear
You've got this song figured wrong
So sing a sad song
And colour me red (X2)

With barely a care
She gracefully faired
Beyond my vision
I feel alone
Through my intuition
I could tell that her mission
Was a just one
And she whispered down the phone

Frankly my dear
You've got this song figured wrong
So sing a sad song
And colour me red (X2)

Intstrumental - Repeat chorus
Last chorus is slightly different
Frankly my dear
You've got this all figured wrong
So sing a sad song
And colour me red
