Elaine - The Young Knives

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)
