\"Who'll<\/p>\n

He was terrified.<\/p>\n

He’d known her for years. They were best friends. Sometimes more. It was beyond complicated.<\/p>\n

He’d watched her for years, like a man who finds himself, transfixed, watching one terrible crash after another in a perpetual storm of dark and roiling emotions, too stunned to even feel sympathy for the victims or shame for his wide-eyed spectatorhood.<\/p>\n

But now, he was going to say something. He was going to break the rules that had allowed them to twine without tying (as she once had said).<\/p>\n

Now, he was going to try to save some fool’s heart…<\/p>\n\n

Who’ll Stop Lorraine?<\/p>\n

I’ve known Lorraine since we were kids
\nand I’ve always been amazed
\nEvery time she went too damn far I thought
\nWho’ll stop Lorraine?<\/p>\n

I saw her hunt down Billy Jim
\nhe was doomed from that first day
\nI saw her rip his heart in two and thought,
\nWho’ll stop Lorraine?<\/p>\n

From the hotel bar to the airport lounge<\/span>
\nEveryone knows her name<\/span>
\nOver and over I ask myself,<\/span>
\nWho’ll Stop Lorraine?<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally one day I’d had enough
\nI sat her down looked her in the eye
\nLorraine I love you, girl, but straighten up,
\n’cause, Lorraine, you’re wreckin’ people’s lives<\/p>\n

From the hotel bar to the airport lounge<\/span>
\nEveryone knows your name<\/span>
\nOver and over they ask themselves,<\/span>
\nWho’ll Stop Lorraine?<\/span><\/p>\n

I never thought Id see a tear in her eye
\nI never thought I’d see into her soul
\nbut since that day she’s come so far
\nand God I’ve come to love her so<\/p>\n

From the hotel bar to the airport lounge<\/span>
\nEveryone knows her name<\/span>
\nOver and over they ask themselves,<\/span>
\nWhatever became of Lorraine?<\/span><\/p>\n
