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

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

Yeah

Emily, you saved the day

Emily, you saved my ass

Emily, you saved my ass
