Lyrics
Last Sunday morning as the coffee was brewing
I heard his key in the door
He walks in the kitchen with candy and flowers
And says we should try just once more
Now I love him, I do, but it really is true
I don't want to play this old game
Where we kiss and we make up
Then quarrel and break up
The outcome is always the same
When he says
I'm leaving, Elaine
I ain't coming back
I'm going for good this time
Don't try to stop me
Do you hear me, Elaine?
I mean it, I've made up my mind
Yes, I'm leaving, Elaine
I ain't coming back
I'm going for good this time
When I walk out that door
You'll be sorry, Elaine
You lost me when you crossed that line
If I were a man, he says, I'd understand
But I understand only too well
Half of him wants to stay home here with me
The other half wants to raise hell
Now I don't really mind if he cuts loose sometimes
But whatever I say I'll be wrong
He tells me I'll miss him, I probably would
If only just once he'd stay gone
When he says
I'm leaving, Elaine
I ain't coming back
I'm going for good this time
Don't try to stop me
Do you hear me, Elaine?
I mean it, I've made up my mind
Yes, I'm leaving, Elaine
I ain't coming back
I'm going for good this time
When I walk out that door
You'll be sorry, Elaine
You lost me when you crossed that line
