  • 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 Writer/s: JARET RAY REDDICK
