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 hair
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 okay
'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 gâche ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâche ta vie?
Shut up, listen to me, dance with me, Emily
Pourquoi tu gâche ta vie
Pourquoi tu gâche 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?
Show you screaming out in French?
Did you really think you had me?
Emily, that's enough, do as you're told
Acting like you're eight 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, 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 gâche ta vie
Pourquoi tu gâche ta vie
Shut up, listen to me, dance with me, Emily
Pourquoi tu gâche ta vie
Pourquoi tu gâche 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 ya
Emily, why do you make this hard to me?
It's not the way it's meant to be
I don't never wanna hate ya
Emily dance, Emily dance, dance, dance
Emily dance, Emily dance, dance, dance
Emily dance, Emily dance, dance, dance
Emily dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Emily dance
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 gâche ta vie
Pourquoi tu gâche ta vie
Shut up, listen to me, dance with me, Emily
Pourquoi tu gâche ta vie
Pourquoi tu gâche ta vie
Shut up, listen to me, dance with me, Emily
Emily dance!
