Emily, Emily
Emily, can't you write a happy song
Get your ass to number one
You could try a little harder
Emily, you could be a millionaire
But you're so full of hot air
Gonna end up like your father
Emily, you can't leave your life to chance
Get a boy and learn to dance
Be a girl like any other
Emily, are you stuck up, are you gay
If you are, well that's ok
Cause it doesn't even matter, Emily
Emily, it's your life and you can't live it twice
One day you'll understand, Emily take my hand
Emily, I love you, and I know you do too
You never make no sense, screaming at me in French
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Shut up listen to me, dance with me Emily!
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Shut up listen to me, dance with me Emily!
Emily, you got so much in your life
Me I got no one's advice
Don't you know you got it easy?
Emily, what you smoking, what's that stench?
Who you screaming at in French?
Did you really think you had me?
Emily, that's enough, do as you're told
Acting like you're 8 years old
I give up it's not worth trying
Emily, one day I will end up dead
That's the only thing I've said
That will ever get her smiling, Emily
Emily, it's your life and you can't live it twice
One day you'll understand and then you'll take my hand
Emily, I love you, and I know you do too
You never make no sense, screaming at me in French
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Shut up listen to me, dance with me Emily!
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Shut up listen to me, dance with me Emily!
Emily, live your life in a balloon
Lock yourself up in your room
So the world can never reach ya
Emily, am I speaking Japanese
Got me falling on my knees
Got me praying to Saint Peter
Emily, see the price I have to pay
I would give my life away
If I knew that I could reach you
Emily, why'd you make this hard for me
It's not the way it's meant to be
I don't never wanna hate you
Emily dance, Emily dance, dance, dance
Emily dance, Emily dance, dance, dance
Emily dance, Emily dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Emily, it's your life and you can't live it twice
One day you'll understand
And then you'll take my hand
Emily, I love you
And I know you do too
You never make no sense
Screaming at me in French
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Shut up listen to me, dance with me Emily
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Shut up listen to me, dance with me Emily!
Emily, dance
