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, you saved the day
Emily, 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 you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake, Emily

You got your money and I got a cast
Outside thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one else, nowhere else to go
So then I hooked up with this model from Singapore
Emily, I, sure am glad that you didn't want me anymore

Emily, you saved the day
Emily, 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 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
I see you in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake, Emily...

Emily, you saved the day
(2x's)

Emily, Emily, You saved my ass
