She was dancing in a Texas border bar, long black hair with lips so red
I was up on stage playing my guitar she was swirling in my head
Took a break and headed right to where she sat long tall Texan by her side
Like a puppy underfoot he had to scat. I just couldn't be denied
Sweet Elena, you're to blame for what I've got
A double dose of unrequited love
Sweet Elena, an angel I am not but I can't resist the vision of Elena from above
Flashed her eyes my way and took me by the hand as we walked out in the rain
Though her words were ones I couldn't understand
It was like a rain in Spain, as I called out her name
Sweet Elena, you're to blame for what I've got
A double shot of unrequited love
Sweet Elena an angel I am not, but I can't resist the vision of Elena from above
She led me to the backseat of her Chevrolet where she set my heart afire
When I missed the set I heard the owner say, She looks great but boy you're fired
Oh, Elena you're to blame for what I am, totally and helplessly in love
Oh Elena fame and fortune were at hand
Now I'm just an ordinary man, loving my Elena from above
From above, from above, loving my Elena from above
