Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Hello,

Please don't see my faults and make me go,

I was only trying to be nice,

Only, only, only trying to be as sweet as spice.

Excuse this rude awakening, it's my weakness can't you see?

Let's charter a day cruiser and get married out at sea.

I'll try to keep it simple so that you can understand,

The moon is in the porthole where the water meets the land.

Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Hello,

Please don't see my faults and make me go,

I was only trying to be nice,

(be nice, show you I love you,)

Only, only, only trying to be as sweet as spice.

Like a spider you consume me, and I'm caught up in your web,

Now is the time to say you're mine, I'm dangling by a thread,

I'm always optimistic but I think you've gone too far,

I may have overstated just how great I think you are.

Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, Hello,

Please don't see my faults and make me go,

I was only trying to be nice,

Only, only, only trying to be as sweet as spice.

La la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la (echo to fade out)
