Emily, Emily,
Emily, can't you write a happy song
Get your eyes 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 or are you gay
If you are, then that's ok
Cause it doesn't even matter

[Chorus:]
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 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
Who you screaming out in French
Did you really think you had me
Emily, that's enough to hide your toes
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

[Chorus:]
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 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'm 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 you make this hard to 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, Emily dance, dance, dance, Emily dance
Emily dance, Emily dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance

[Chorus:]
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 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.
