Elaine - The Smithereens

I got your letter in the mail the other day

You had to say that you were leaving me

I can’t believe the words I’ve read

I think that I’d rather be dead

Than to be this lonely

Oh Elaine

I think this love affair has gone much too far

Oh Elaine

We both could work it out

Please tell me where you are

Elaine

I’ve tried and tried with all my heart

To be sad but to depart when we were standing here

Come to your senses I need you

Please don’t tell me that we’re through

I need your love my dear

Oh Elaine

I think this love affair has gone much too far

Oh Elaine

We both could work it out

Please tell me where you are

Oh Elaine

My whole world’s in little pieces

From the day that we met I just can’t forget

I know that someday we’ll both be together

But right now I really can’t say
