Words and music: Rob Frazier

Elaine lives on the bad side of town
Nothing goes on there, it only goes down
Her family is a sad situation
And she's the victim of their frustration
Down the street at the church it's a different world
Wednesday night and Sunday
The Christians there could really help that girl
If only they would say

Come on, Elaine
Come on, Elaine
Come on, Elaine
Let's get together
Come on, Elaine
Oh Elaine
Come on, Elaine
We'll try to make it better (for you)

At her school nobody knows she's there
Except to laugh at how she does her hair
She ain't got money for the Sassoon jeans
She don't know how to play the video machines
Well at the church there's a girl who could reach her
But it's kinda out of her way
Her choice of friends is her finest feature
And she's too cool to say

We'll try to make it better for you
You need to know somebody cares for you
Someone to help with what you're going through
And share the love of Jesus with you
