Ellen - 10000 Maniacs
Written by:Mary Jeanne Ramsey/Jerome Augustyniak/Dennis Drew/Robert Buck/Steven Gustafson
Eager to please was just the way that he was
Though his attempts there falling short
Expectation
See he would tell of all his conquests
Was he bragging
But in the evening all alone
All alone
Ellen unplanned delays
Saving for someone who really cared about you
Invincible they say
Married to your name
She was the kind between a child and a lady
Quick was her temper
Like a blaze from an ember
No one had measured to her standard
So in the evening all alone all alone
Ellen unplanned delays
Saving for someone who really cared about you
Invincible they say
Married to your name
How do I tell them to open their minds
And to take a chance
Maybe on finding lifes treasure
Stubborn they stay set in their ways
Really not wanting to be lonely not alone
Ellen unplanned delays
Saving for someone who really cared about you
Invincible they say married to your name
Oh
Ellen unplanned delays
Saving for someone who really cared about you
Invincible they say married to your name
