Lyrics
AFTER YOU
by Frankie Key, copyright 2004, (904) 381-4332
Verse 1
Went down to Florida,
Looking for a new lover,
Sun-kissed skin, bikini line,
Long, blonde hair and a laid-back smile...
Verse 2
Found you in Florida,
Tasted sweeter than oranges;
Walked the beach, surfed the waves,
Loved all night, and laughed all day.
Link
But when the Truth came out to play,
Those summer dreams just blew away!
Chorus
They should've named that hurricane after you!
Wild, unpredictable, and cruel,
They should've had a siren sounding through and through,
They should've named that hurricane after you!
Verse 3
Thought you were magical,
Lured me with promises,
Like a mermaid sweet, you tempted me,
Led me down to the deep, deep sea.
Verse 4
Looked like an angel,
Some kind of heaven-sent,
Imagine my complete surprise,
When the wind hit me at a hundred miles!
Link
Yeah, when the Truth came out to play,
Those summer dreams just blew away!
Chorus- REPEAT
Bridge
Now, I've been through tornadoes,
And earthquakes in LA,
Once I fell in quicksand,
And lived to tell the day!
I recall my first frostbite-
Almost lost my toes,
But I've never been so scared as when,
I saw your temper blow!
Chorus
They should've named that hurricane after you!
Wild, unpredictable, and oh-so-very cruel,
They should've had a siren sounding through and through,
They should've named that hurricane after you, after you!
They should've named that hurricane after you- not Sam or Sue-
They should've named that hurricane after you, after you, after you....
