(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny thing I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told you, he was much older,
So much older than you

You rushed blindly, he treated you kindly
Until he found out what he could get from you
You should have departed before he got started
Now you've been burned just like I said you would

Please read my letter closely
It's beneficial, too
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

Verse 2
So much older than you, so much older than you

Chorus
