Eli's comin' 

Eli's comin' (Eli's a-comin') 

Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart 

Eli's a-comin' and the cards say... a broken heart 

Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl 

Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl 

Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide 

Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide 

Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide 

Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it) 

You better, better hide your heart 

Eli's comin', better walk 

Walk but you'll never get away 

No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache 

I walked to Apollo by the bay 

Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she never got 

away) 

Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she never got away) 

Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (she walked but... she walked 

but...) 

Get down on your knees (she walked but she never got away) 

Eli's comin' (hide it, hide it, hide it) 

Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide 

Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide 

Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide 

Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it) 

You better, better hide your heart 

Eli's comin', better walk 

Walk but you'll never get away 

No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache 

I walked to Apollo by the bay 

Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she'll never get 

away) 

Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she'll never get away) 

Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (she walked but... she walked 

but...) 

Get down on your knees (she walked but she'll never get away) 

Get down on your knees 

No-no, no-no 

Lord, I said no-no, no-no, no-no 

(hide it) She can 

(hide it) hide it 

(hide it) You better 

(hide it) Somebody 

(hide it) You got t' 

(hide it) Oh, my 

(hide it) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
