[Intro]
Eli's coming (Eli's a-coming)
Eli's coming (Eli's a-coming)
Woah, you better hide your heart
Your loving heart
Eli's a-coming and the cards say
Broken heart, a broken heart

[Chorus]
Eli's coming, hide your heart, girl
Eli's coming, hide your heart, girl
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, hide your heart
You better-better hide your heart

[Verse 1]
Eli's coming, better walk
Walk, but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from the burning a-heartache
Yeah, to Apollo by the Bay
Everywhere I go, woah
Eli's a-coming (Oh, but you'll never get away)
Eli's a-coming (Oh, but you'll never get away)
Eli's a-coming, and he's comin' to get me, Mama (Mama, mama)
I'm down on my knees (You'll never get away)
Eli's comin' (Hide it)
[Chorus]
Girl, Eli's a-comin', better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide (You better hide your heart)
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide (Your heart)
Eli's comin', hide your heart
You better, better hide your heart

[Verse 2]
Eli's comin', better walk
Right, but he's never gonna hear
No, he's never gonna hear, and he ain't gonna follow
Yeah, at the corners of the square
And everywhere I go, woah
Eli's a-comin' (Oh, but you'll never get away)
Eli's a-comin' (Oh, but you'll never get away)
Eli's a-coming, and he's comin' to get me, Mama (Mama, mama)
I'm down on my knees, down on my knees (You'll never get away)
Oh, no, no, no

[Refrain]
Hide it, hide it
Hide it, hide it
Hide it, hide it
Hide it

[Pre-Chorus]
Eli's coming (Eli's a-coming)
Eli's coming (Eli's a-coming)
Woah, you better hide your heart
Your loving heart
Eli's a-coming and the cards say
Broken heart, a broken heart
[Chorus]
Eli's coming, hide your heart, girl
Eli's coming, hide your heart, girl
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide

Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide
