Emily, yeah
You're so spiteful and so mean
With your afternoon routine
With your afternoon routine

Emily, you can work this out
But it'll hurt you, child
It'll hurt you, child
Emily, said, "Honey, shut your mouth"
You better work this out
Or it'll hurt you, child
You better work this out
Or it'll hurt you, child

Because oh, honey, don't you know
That it's hard for me? Yeah
Emily, don't you know
That it's hard for me? Yeah
To rest when you lied
Oh, to make you feel good inside

Emily, yeah
I can't ask of more of you
It takes more than one, it's true
How's that broken heart for you?
How's that working out?
