The Smithereens - Elaine lyrics

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, 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
