Days and nights I put up with your hurtful tirade,
Each word cutting me up like a blade

(chorus)
You said I was the size of an elephant (ellie-ellie-el-e-fant),
How cruel you were to me
But look at me now
I make those boys go 'wow'
I'm as sexy as can be.

Nelly (Nelly Nelly) was your favourite name to call to make me cry
Well she packed her bags and to the circus waved goodbye
So boy from your circus, I started to fly
Onwards and upwards (to the sky, to the sky)”

Please, tell me you're making it all up!I NEVER imagined she would use the elephant for weight problems...Hmm...I don't think it's going to be a powerhouse ballad, though.Maybe a pop mid-tempo with intense synths, like 'Teenage Dream'.However, a ballad called 'Elephant' would be TOO good to be true.I would LOVE her to do it.It would be a total parody of the "X Factor winner power ballad".Imagine her doing the typical X Factor "big note" singing ELEPHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT. YAAAASSS!I hope she's going to make it a parody, though, because releasing a lead single to show off to the people that were teasing you is pretty horrible.I cringed when Jessie released 'WLN' as a single.Those songs are supposed to be album tracks, but Alexandra can pull it off if she plays her cards right and make it non-cringeworthy.

Please say those lyrics are a joke? Maybe it's going to sound better than it looks on paper, because Alex seriously deserves so much better than that material.

lol yeah sorry I made that up. I'm worried though that Alex can make a song titled Elephant work..I'm not convinced but we'll see.

Those lyrics were actually quite good.

This really does have the potential to be a disaster.

Not that I was expecting anything good from Burke, but "Elephant" doesn't give good vibes.

What about:
"I had so much love to give but for you it's all irrelevant
you just stepped right on my heart, crashed it like you were an elephant"
???

(The X Factor big note STILL has to be on the elephant phrase.I'd LOVE to see Simon's face while she does runs and hits a bunch of high notes for the word "elephant" )

You never know it might be a Jumbo success

This all makes me laugh, because we don't even know if it's called 'Elephant'. A picture of Alex's birthday cake was posted on Twitter and she had a necklace with an Elephant on it...then suddenly her single was called 'Elephant'. She said a few weeks ago that the song is about an animal...but there's been a lot of delays since then and her label are trying to decide between 2 tracks which to release. All this 'Elephant' speculation is a bit over the top.

I swear I saw a video on the music channels with Alexandra Burke and an Elephant, but it was only for about half a second so it could have just been a black woman

Does anyone have a video out with a black woman and an elephant? lol

Kelly Rowland has an elephant in her Lay It On Me video. Probably was that!

i am totally LOVING all the lyric suggestions!! sooo funny!!

though I'm guessing it's going to be more to do with the saying "there's an elephant in the room" you know when people are avoiding talking about something

No it wasn't that, it had a green background and it was right at the end of the video.

Damn! I haven't a clue what it could be then. I was going to suggest Britney Spears' Circus and the black woman was a backing dancer but I can't remember the elephant being at end. And the background was red...

Nobody knows what the subject of the song is other than the name...
