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 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
