Elaine Lyrics - 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 

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 

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 

Elaine 

Elaine 

Elaine 

My Elaine
