Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and gone off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me
spoken: two-three-four)
Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could a told you he was much older
much older than you
You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly
Until he found out what he could get from you
You should a departed before he got started
Now you've been burned, just like I said you would
Please read my letter closely
It's beneficial to 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
Dear Eloise
