Music by 10,000 maniacs - lyrics by mary ramsey<br><br>Eager to please was just the way that he was<br>Though his attempts there falling short,<br>Expectation<br>See he would tell of all his conquests,<br>Was he bragging? <br>But in the evening all alone<br>Ellen unplanned delays<br>Saving for someone who really cared about you<br>Invincible they say<br>Married to your name<br>She was the kind between a child and a lady,<br>Quick was her temper<br>Like a blaze from an ember<br>No one had measured to her standard,<br>So in the evening all alone all alone<br>How do I tell them to open their minds<br>And to take a chance<br>Maybe on finding life's treasure stubborn they stay set<br>In their ways really not wanting to be lonely not alone.
