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
