Lyrics:

[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
