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 to never call your house again



CHORUS

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 her in my dreams at night

I see you when I close my eyes

I just can't seem to shake you, Emily



VERSE 2

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 I hooked up with this model from Singapore

Emily, I sure am glad you didn't want me anymore



CHORUS



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 you, Emily

Yeah



Emily, you saved the day

Emily, you saved the day

Emily, you saved my ass
