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 that I read
I think that I 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
Till you decided to depart and leave me standing here
Come to your senses, I need you
And please don't tell 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

I know that someday we'll both meet 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 that I read
I think that I 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 meet together
But right now, I really can't say
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, my Elaine

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 that I read
