Eli's comin', Eli's comin' - Eli's a-comin'
Well, you better hide your heart, your loving heart
Eli's a-comin' and the cards say 'a broken heart'
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl - hide it
You'd better, better hide your heart
Eli's comin', better walk
Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin'
She walked but she never got away
Eli's a-comin' - she walked but she never got away
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya
She walked but - she walked but
Get down on your knees - she walked but she never got away
Eli's comin' - hide it, hide it, hide it
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl - hide it
You'd better, better hide your heart
Eli's comin', better walk
Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin'
She walked but she never got away
Eli's a-comin' - she walked but she never got away
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya
She walked but - she walked but
Get down on your knees - she walked but she never got away
Get down on your knees
No-no, no-no, Lord, I said no-no, no-no, no-no
Hide it - she can - hide it - hide it - hide it - you better
Hide it - somebody - hide it - you got to - hide it - oh, my
Hide it - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
