Here's how I hear it:


ELAINE
Written by Jim Hall
As sung by Andy Roberts

Mailman has my boots.
You got my Cadillac.
Your brother took my suits.
Why won't you take me back?
Jeweler has my ring,
And the key to your back door.
Your boyfriend has a hundred things
I'm gonna kill him for.

CHORUS: So, I'm askin' you not to make a mess of a poor man's life.
You know you are my woman; that's why I made you my wife.
Ev'ry day I look a thousand eyes look back at me,
Giving myself to your front yard, honey, begging you to see me.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, Elaine, bring me so much pain.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, Elaine, bring me pain.

Landlord has my lease,
He listens through the floor.
Your bank account's a thief.
It ravaged mine for more.
Won't you take me back?
You're everything I own.
If not we'll paint it black
And plant me with a stone.

CHORUS
