Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today.
I heard that he's left you, and run off to see.
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 ya,
He was much older,
So much older than you.

You loved him blindly,
He treated ya 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 to you,
Must read in between the lines,
A message you will see.
If you use your mind you'll find,
I want you bad with me-eee-eeee

Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba- ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba- ba ba ba ba ba ba

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

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

    Question

    Shouldn't it be 'he's left you and run off to sea'? Makes more sense! And anyway, 'run off to see' what, exactly?

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
