[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Emily (Emily), ah-ah-ah
You saved the day
Emily (Emily), ah-ah-ah-ah
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 you in my dreams at night
I see her when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake
Emily

[Verse 2]
You got your money and I got cast
Outsidе thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one elsе
Nowhere else to go (Ah, ah-ah)
So then I hooked up
With a model from Singapore (Ah-ah)
Emily, I sure am glad that
You didn't want me anymore
[Chorus]
Emily (Emily), ah-ah-ah
You saved the day
Emily (Emily), ah-ah-ah-ah
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 you in my dreams at night
I see her when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake
Emily, Emily

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
See you in my dreams at night
I see her when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake
Emily, yeah!
[Outro]
Emily, ah-ah-ah-ah
You saved the day
Emily (Emily), ah-ah-ah-ah
You saved the day
Emily (Emily), ah-ah-ah-ah
Emily (Emily), ah-yeah, yeah
