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 life's 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

Ellen, unplanned delays
Saving for someone who really cared about you
Invincible they say, 
Married to your name
