Eli's Comin' - Laura Nyro

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

Broken heart, a broken heart

Eli’s comin', hide your heart, girl

Eli’s comin', hide your heart, girl

Girl, Eli’s a-comin', better hide

Girl, Eli’s a-comin', you better hide (You better hide your heart)

Girl, Eli’s a-comin', you better hide (Your heart)

Girl, Eli’s comin', hide your heart

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 burning a-heartache

I walked to Apollo by the bay

Everywhere I go, whoa

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 get me, Mama (She walked, but, she walked,

but)

I’m down on my knees (She walked, but she never got away)

Eli’s comin' (Hide it)

Girl, Eli’s a-comin', better hide

Girl, Eli’s a-comin', you better hide (You better hide your heart)

Girl, Eli’s a-comin', you better hide (Your heart)

Eli’s comin', hide your heart

You better, better hide your heart

Eli’s comin', better walk

Right, but he’s never gonna hear

No, he’s never gonna hear, and he ain’t gonna follow

Down at the corners of the square

And everywhere I go, whoa

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 get me, Mama (She walked, but, she walked,

but)

I’m down on my knees (She walked, but she never got away)

I’m down on my knees (She walked, better hide your heart, girl)

Oh, no, no, no Hide it, whoa, hide it Hide it, hide it Hide it, whoa, hide it Hide it Eli’s comin'

Eli’s a-comin' (Eli's a-comin')

Better hide

Eli’s comin', better hide your heart, girl

Eli’s comin', better hide your heart, girl

Eli’s comin', better hide your heart, girl
