These lyrics come from the Laura Nyro version; she wrote the song.

ELI'S COMING (Laura Nyro) (Artist: Laura Nyro, Three Dog Night)

Eli's coming. Eli's a-coming.
Whoa, you better hide your heart, your loving heart,
Eli's a-coming, and the cards say, broken heart, oh, broken heart.
Eli's coming, hide your heart, girl,
Eli's coming, hide your heart, girl.
Girl, Eli's a-coming, better hide. Girl, Eli's coming, better hide,
Girl, Eli's coming, better hide. Girl, Eli s coming, hide your heart. You
better, better hide your heart. Eli's coming.
You better walk, walk but you'll never get away,
No, you'll never get away from the burn and the heartache.
I walked to Apollo and the bay and everywhere I go,
Eli's a-coming, walk, walk you're never gonna,
Eli's coming, walk right you're never gonna.
Eli's a-coming and he's coming to get me,
Mama, I'm down on my knees. Oh, no, no, no!
Eli's coming, hide it. Girl, Eli's coming, better hide.
Girl, Eli's coming, better hide. Girl, Eli's coming, better hide.
Girl, Eli's coming, hide your heart,
You better, better hide your heart.
Eli's coming, you better walk, cry, but he's never gonna hear,
No, he's never gonna hear and he ain't gonna follow.
I cried at the corners of the square and everywhere I go.
Eli's coming, walk right, you're never gonna,
Eli's coming, walk right, you're never gonna.
Eli's coming and coming to get me, mama,
I'm down on my knees, I'm down on my knees. Oh no no no no.
Eli's coming, hide it, whoa, hide it, hide it, hide it,
Whoa, hide it, hide it, hide it, whoa, hide it, hide it.
Eli's coming, Eli's coming, better hide,
Eli's coming, better hide your heart, girl.
Eli's coming, better hide your heart, girl.
Eli's coming, better hide your heart, girl.
Eli's coming, better hide your heart, girl. Eli's coming, better hide your
heart, girl.
Oh, no, Eli's coming, better hide your heart, girl.
Eli's coming, better hide your heart, girl. Eli's coming, better hide your
heart, girl.

Eli's Coming
- written by Laura Nyro
- as recorded by Three Dog Night

Eli's comin'
Eli's comin' (Eli's a-comin')
Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart
Eli's a-comin' and the cards say... a broken heart

Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it)


You better, better hide your heart

Eli's comin', better walk

Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (she walked but... she walked
but...)
Get down on your knees (she walked but she never got away)

Eli's comin' (hide it, hide it, hide it)
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it)


You better, better hide your heart

Eli's comin', better walk

Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she'll never get
away)
Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she'll never get away)
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (she walked but... she walked
but...)
Get down on your knees (she walked but she'll never get away)
Get down on your knees

No-no, no-no
Lord, I said no-no, no-no, no-no

(hide it) She can
(hide it) hide it
(hide it) You better
(hide it) Somebody
(hide it) You got t'
(hide it) Oh, my
(hide it) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
