Oh, Emelia
Tell me what have you done
Why do you always run
From the ones that you love
Your toothbrush still sits
Right where you left it
For you called it quits
And you walked out my door
And why
Do you always run
When the going gets tough
When you live with the devil
You pray there's a god
But you'll curse his name
When you find out there's not
'cause he takes what you love
And he throws it away
I think he gets off
When a grown man cries
And why
Does he always run
When the going gets tough
Going gets tough
Tell me what have you done
Why do you always run
From the ones that you love
Your toothbrush still sits
Right where you left it
For you called it quits
And you walked out my door
And why
Do you always run
When the going gets tough
When you live with the devil
You pray there's a god
But you'll curse his name
When you find out there's not
'cause he takes what you love
And he throws it away
I think he gets off
When a grown man cries
And why
Does he always run
When the going gets tough
Going gets tough
