Laine has had worldwide sales of over 250 million disks, and has earned 21 gold records. Originally a rhythm and blues influenced jazz singer, his energetic, passionate style has led some to consider him the first of the blue-eyed soul singers. Eventually he expanded to such varied genres as popular standards, gospel, folk, country, rock 'n' roll, and a hard-driving (and slightly campy) form of western/Americana.
... Throughout the 1950s, Laine enjoyed a second career singing the title songs of Hollywood films and television shows, including: Gunfight At OK Corral, 3:10 To Yuma, Bullwhip, and Rawhide. His rendition of the title song for Mel Brooks' 1974 movie Blazing Saddles won an Oscar nomination for Best Song, and his recording of "Rawhide" for the television series of the same name has become a classic of the genre.

You're Just the Kind
Frankie Laine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just the kind of a girl that I'd like to fall for
You're just the kind of a girl that I'd like to know
One casual glance and I knew that romance was before me
When ever you speak
I get so darn weak
That you floor me

Who wouldn't crave to be only your slave forever

Can it be true that I'm actually here with you
Turn the lights down low cause I think I know
That our hearts will both agree
You're just the kind of a girl that I'd like to fall for me

Hay you're just the kind of a girl that I'd like to fall for
Your're just the kind of a girl that I'd like to know
One casual glance and I knew that romance was before me
When ever you speak
I get so darn weak
That you floor me

Well who wouldn't crave to be only your slave forever
Can it be true that I'm actually here with you
Turn the lights down low cause I think I know
Our hearts will both agree
You're just the kind of a girl that I'd like to fall for me

You're just the kind

Just the kind of a girl
Oh kind of a girl that I'd like to fall for me
