A twiddledeedledee goes a bird
But the sound of your little voice, darling,
Its the sweetest sound Ive ever heard.
Well, Ive seen the beauty of the red, red rose,
Seen the beauty when the skies are blue,
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset- but the beauty of you!
Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb,
But theres nothing as sweet as you, darling,
And I hope some day youll be mine!

I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana
Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, ho-ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with-a all your might
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana

@jxhntae
mook LA ru it won’t his fault it was the people around him who let him do heroin young
@billyrose47
Thanks to the greed of the agent who talked him into leaving and broke up the group.....thinking Frankie alone was his cash cow.....neither Frankie nor the Teenagers had any success to speak of afterwards and he fell into depression and drugs were his outlet. I believe if he had stayed with the Teenagers they would have gone on to have even more success and maybe, just maybe may have changed the outcome of his story. A real sad ending for a great talent. His brother Louie was also very talented and sang with The Jimmy Castor Bunch.
