It wasn't supposed to be like this, another dose of unhappiness
I gave it all and managed to get shot down yet again
So I got drunk, had sex with all your friends
You told me that I should never call your house again
Emily, Emily oh, you saved the day
Emily, Emily oh, when you threw me away
She was always such a pretty girl, nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly that no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night, I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake, Emily
You got your money and I got cast outside thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one else, no where else to go
So then I hooked up, with a model from Singapore
Emily I sure am glad that you didn't want me anymore
Emily, Emily oh, you saved the day
Emily, Emily oh, when you threw me away
She was always such a pretty girl, nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly that no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night, I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake, Emily, Emily
She was always such a pretty girl, nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly that no one else could stand
See her in my dreams at night, I see her when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake, Emily, yeah
Emily, Emily oh, you saved the day
Emily, Emily oh, you saved the day
Emily, Emily oh
Emily, Emily oh, you saved my ass
