Frankenstein by New York Dolls Lyrics
Something must have happened over Manhattan
Who can expound all the children this time
Did they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, a Frankenstein
I remember when you were children
You were better than any man
There was never nothing you would ever understand
But you knew who was there to be your master
Making his demands and plans
Whose always making his plans
And when those plans they don't fit your style
You get a feeling of your own ordeal
That's when he starts calling you, wow
Bud, you just don't know what to do
So now you come around here
And you're trying to take over the town
Just because of back home, baby
How he puts you down
Oh, baby, how he puts you down
I know they put you down
So now, you're off starting 'round here
Here you ask and demand
In a place where they don't expect nothing
You're trying not to dirty your hands
When asking you as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein
Is it wrong, could it be wrong
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend
'Cause you're trying to be so selective
You never realize the whole time
Who's the one you're loving
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein
And down, down, down, just go just down
Like Frankenstein, like Frankenstein
So now you're telling me
What every time you can get down home
Well, don't you know this place, it is my home
So where am I gonna go
You know, when you don't expect nothing
You know, when you're not alone, you know you're not alone
'Cause something must have happened over them higher
Who can expound all the children this time
Could you ever, could you ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
And all this shoes are too big
And house jacket's too small
How you don't know Frankenstein, a Frankenstein
We're asking you as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love in with Frankenstein
Wrong, could it be wrong
Baby, don't you want a friend
Well, Frankenstein, oh, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein
That's what I'm gonna shout about
Gonna scream about, I'm gonna shout about, scream about
Scream about, shout about a Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
I've gotta ask you one question
Do you think that you could make it with Frankenstein?
Who can expound all the children this time
Did they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, a Frankenstein
I remember when you were children
You were better than any man
There was never nothing you would ever understand
But you knew who was there to be your master
Making his demands and plans
Whose always making his plans
And when those plans they don't fit your style
You get a feeling of your own ordeal
That's when he starts calling you, wow
Bud, you just don't know what to do
So now you come around here
And you're trying to take over the town
Just because of back home, baby
How he puts you down
Oh, baby, how he puts you down
I know they put you down
So now, you're off starting 'round here
Here you ask and demand
In a place where they don't expect nothing
You're trying not to dirty your hands
When asking you as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein
Is it wrong, could it be wrong
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend
'Cause you're trying to be so selective
