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
