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

D C D C D [N.C.]

Could be the best thing that's happened to me

(spoken: two-three-four)

Verse 1:

Writing a letter to make you feel better

Sorry to hear that he left you that way

I coulda told you he was much older

So much older than you

Verse 2:

You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly

Until he found out what he could get from you

You shoulda 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

Coda:

So much older than you

G D [tape slows down]

So much older than you
