Hey Elise, what's the least that you'd do for me?
When I've been doing it on my own
I've been breaking down
I've been running around
All the things that you condone
Hey Elise, if you'd please not wait by the phone
I may not be coming home
I feel justified
I'm fully pacified
And now I'm not under your control
What did you need in me?
What did you see in me?
Hey Elise, I believe that you did your best
It's getting old and I could use some rest
I've been upfront
Nothing short of blunt
And now I'm not under your control
Hey Elise, if you leave I will lock the door
Don't need to see you anymore
It's been nice and all
I've truly had a ball
And now I'm through waging war
What did you need in me?
What did you see in me?
Don't make this your story
Been told by those before me
Don't make this your story
Been told by those before me
Come around again
Come around again
Hey Elise, what's the least that you'd do for me?
When I've been doing it on my own
I've been breaking down
I've been running around
All the things that you condone
