Jesse Winchester - Eulalie Lyrics

Eulalie just loves attention
She's a child in that respect
She's a girl whose pretty looks
Have been a chain around her neck

'Cause with all the boys who want her
Why she'll never notice me
And I could really love you, Eulalie

Eulalie was daddy's daughter
She's her daddy's daughter still
And they live in careless comfort
Somewhere high upon the hill

But the boys who court her ain't no count
Oh, I wish she could see
'Cause I could really love you, Eulalie

Eulalie, if you only knew me
You could see right through me
You'd see I'm sincere
Eulalie, I feel like I know you

I wish I could show you
Hey look over here
Eulalie, Eulalie, Eulalie

I could watch her from a distance
And I'd know just how she feels
I could love her in my mind
Till I believed that it was real

And I know that all she's missing
Is a steady boy like me
'Cause I could really love you, Eulalie

Eulalie, if you only knew me
You could see right through me
You'd see I'm sincere
Eulalie, I feel like I know you

I wish I could show you
Hey, look over here
Eulalie, Eulalie, Eulalie
