Emily - Stephen Fretwell

You never were going to change your mind, were you, Emily?

You just sat back, took it all for you, there was nothing for me;

I didn’t mean to prove that all I can do is lose

Next time that you need me, don’t call me up, Emily;

I’m tired of your lies and your cheating ways with me;

And every time you go, please don’t let me know

Emily, you still live inside of me;

And, Emily, you are the fire in my tree;

So if you should fall, please don’t call;

And next time you write, I won’t stay up all night;

'Cos Emily you, just look at you — you’re a tragedy

You never were going to change you mind, were you, Emily?

You just sat back, took it all for you, and nothing was there for me;

I didn’t mean to prove that all I’m good for is to lose

Emily, you still live inside of me;

And, Emily, you are the fire in my tree;

So next time you fall, please don’t call;

And next time you write, I won’t stay up all night;

'Cos Emily you, just look at you — you’re a tragedy

You never were going to change you’re mind were you, anyway
