Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me
[Verse 2]
Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told ya, he was much older
So much older than you
[Verse 3]
You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly
Until he found out what he could get from you
You should've departed, before he got started
Now you've been burned just like I said you would
[Verse 4]
Please read my letter closely
It's beneficial too you
Must read in between the lines
A message you will see
If you use your mind you'll find
I want you back with me
[Verse 5]
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
[Verse 6]
We're writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told ya, he was much older
So much older than you
So much older than you
So much older than you
[Verse 7]
Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me
