"Franklin, Do..." by Ruby Rose Fox

LYRICS

She had a bee in her bonnet
She had a tango in her hair
and she moved around the cafe like
the decedent of Fred Astaire

Then she felt his eyes trying to hide
some kind of love disaster and
"Franklin throw another donut on the elevator"

Though she wanted to be famous
She felt so secure in her uniform
and as Franklin orbited her planet
she smelled like Pachouli and Peppercorn

But he was on to her disguise, trying to hide
some kind of love disaster and,
"Franklin, throw another donut on the elevator!"
"Throw another donut on the elevator!"

I'm sorry we slept together
I'm working on myself
I'm working on my mental health
Franklin do
Do you ever feel seen?
When someone treats you mean?
When someone treats you really mean?

Didn't expect you to be so honest
I can take Wednesdays if your take Thursday nights
And as he wipes the counters clean
he didn't notice it didn't sit right

Sheila finally felt the weight of time
The weight of love's disaster and
threw a donut at Franklin and said see you later
"Throw another donut on the elevator"

I'm sorry we slept together
I'm working on myself
I'm working on my mental health
Franklin, do...
Do you ever feel seen?
When someone treats you mean?
When someone treats you really mean?

She had a bee in a bonnet
She had a tango in her hair
And she walked herself back home
Like nothing happened and she didn't care
