Sitting in the barroom ordering another beer
She stepped up on the stage, but nobody wanted to hear
And every word she sang was sweet music to my ears
Chorus:
Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say
Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say
It don't matter if the world don't listen
Don't you pay no heed
Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me
I sat there at the bar she sang the blues all night
Singing straight from the heart, living every line
I wanna tell you girl, you touched this heart of mine
Chorus:
Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say
Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say
--- Instrumental ---
End of the night, they turned the lights down low
While the band packed up
She was standing there ready to go
I walked up and said, hey, I just want to let you know
Chorus:
Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say
Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say
It don't matter if the world don't listen
Don't you pay no heed
Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me
