Ella, Ella, it doesn’t feel like you

Ella, Ella, you have me misconstrued

Don’t you feel like something is amiss

I’m sure it feels, it feels so wrong

That you put me down like this

And heeeeeeeeere’s your battered man

And youuuuuuuuuuu know those words were true

And iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii can hardly stand,

And I know it’s gon’ hurt away from you

Ella, Ella, have you always been untrue

I’m sure it feels fine, if I’m caught in bind

Or if I seem a fool for you

Sweet woman have you ever truly loved

Anyone in that crowd Take your pick knock ‘em down

Tell ‘em Hey I’m on the run

And heeeeeeeeere’s your battered man

And youuuuuuuuuuu know those words were true

And iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii can hardly stand

Enough of those words they can't be true, they can't be true to you!

Ella Ella, oh God there’s so much pain

Well I’m looking back, drinkin’ back, running away

And there ain’t no more to gain

And heeeeeeeeere’s your battered man

And youuuuuuuuuuu know those words were true

And iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii could hardly stand

Enough of those words they can’t be true

They can't be true to you

Enough of those words they can’t be true

They can't be true to you

Step on my heart it can’t be true

It can't be true to you

Here's your battered man
