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 air
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 gâches ta vie ?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ?
Shut up, listen to me! Dance with me, Emily (Emily, dance!)
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ?
Shut up, listen to me! Dance with me, Emily
Emily, you've 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 at 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 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 gâches ta vie ?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ?
Shut up, listen to me! Dance with me, Emily (Emily, dance!)
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ?
Pourquoi tu gâches 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 you make this hard for me?
It's not the way it's meant to be
I don't ever wanna hit 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
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 gâches ta vie ?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ?
Shut up, listen to me! Dance with me, Emily (Emily, dance!)
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ?
Shut up, listen to me! Dance with me, Emily
Emily dance.

@sourwolf I re-edited the lyrics earlier this month, so it should be fine now. Gosh, "bullcrotching" isn't even a word!

The question marks are "That's enough, do as you're told (or it could be 'That's enough to hide your toes')" and "Acting like you're eight years old." By the way, the part in French (Pourquoi tu gâche ta vie) means "Why do you waste your life?"
I submitted a lyrics edit. Let's hope they get the OK
