Lyrics for Emily by Dave Stewart and Robin Zander from the album Robin Zander

She’s got trouble running through her veins
She’s got a sickness, I’d better wash my hands
She’s got evil in the back of her mind
She could put the fear of God into the eyes of the blind

All alone
You don’t have to stay
All alone
Now I know just why you feel like crying

Emily I, didn’t know (you were daddy’s girl)
Emily I, didn’t know (such a sad little girl)
He stayed inside and hurt you so bad
All of your love oh baby I want it back
Hoo

There’s a snake crawling in the grass
There’s a rotten apple in a barrel, better watch your ass
She got hungry, full of dirty ideas
And a mouthful of garbage, not too much between her ears

All alone
Do you want to stay?
All alone
Now I know why you feel like crying

Emily I, didn’t know (you were daddy’s girl)
Emily I, didn’t know (such a bad little girl)
He stuck inside and won’t let go
Only a child
A little baby how could you know?
Hoo

All alone
Well you don’t have to stay
All alone
Why lay awake?
All alone
Now I know just why I feel like crying

Emily I, didn’t know (you were daddy’s girl)
Emily I, didn’t know (a mad little girl)
He stuck inside and won’t let go
All of your life how could you know?
Hoo

Emily I, I didn’t know (you were daddy’s girl)
Emily I, didn’t know (such a sad little girl)
He stayed inside and hurt you so bad
All your love, all your life
All you want, is coming back
Coming back, hey-hey!
