Emily, PJ All Day Remix

Will she come?

Yeah

Five, six, seven, eight

I met you at the age of twenty-one

Lookin' so fly like a young ripe plum

I was the gardener, you were the nun

I was Maverick, you were the girl in Top Gun

I pursued you with young freshman eyes

Stomached you small for what the eyes realized

Thought I could handle it, I took you by the hand

I asked you to marry me, I knelt on the sand

You said yes, never a second guess

Wait a few years to have babies was the plan

Made my dreams whole (Whole), got a eight-to-four (Four)

Workin' as a stock clerk in Nabisco

But I loved you, I put you first above all (All)

Raised you high so that you would never fall (Fall)

We got more close sexually daily

Slipped up and got you pregnant with a baby

Upset your parents, didn't tell mine

I told you, "It'll be okay in time"

And I looked in your eyes, pretend to grin

Said that I loved you and you're my best friend

Told you to trust me until the end

But I'm leavin' (I told you I would never lie)

I'm sorry, but I'm leavin' (You're not a mother 'cause I died)

I'm sorry, but I'm leavin' (You lied to me)

I'm sorry, but I'm

I had to have a meeting with your dad

I was very nervous, he was very sad

You were going jogging, I was wearing plaid

I knew what I did and I knew what I had (What?)

It was your attention, I had time to stall

I told him that I'd get a second job at the mall

He said, "Okay," but filled with disbelief

I said, "Goodbye," filled with relief

'Cause I knew I didn't want to, knew I didn't plan this

Knew I had to give up on my goals just to stand this

And that really sucked, I was so young

All I really wanted was to rap and have fun

Now I had to work (Work), then I really thought about it

Did I really have to or would he have thought about it?

All I thought I had to do for myself

It was my life, it belonged to no one else

So I planned to leave, a thief in the night

Disappear with the trace, left a note that felt like

I looked in your eyes, pretend to grin

Said that I loved you and you're my best friend

Told you to trust me until the end

But I'm leavin' (I told you I would never lie)

I'm sorry, but I'm leavin' (You're not a mother 'cause I died)

I'm sorry, but I'm leavin' (Why try?)

I'm sorry, but I'm

Four years passed, I'm still spinnin' my wheels

Still makin' demos, lookin' for a record deal

You found my address from my friend

Sent me a letter, told me silence had to end

You had a daughter, named her Emily

And every time she looked at you, it felt like me

She was askin' questions, "Where is my dad?

And what did he do, Mommy, to make you so mad?"

You said I had to come and finally meet my girl

I said that I would if only I could

Showed up at the door, it was answered by her (Her)

I knew by eyes that I was her father (Father)

I knelt to your level, said, "Who are you?" (You)

You said, "Emily," I said, "How cute"

I walked you in, holdin' your hand (Hand)

You showed me your bedroom, I took a slow pan

You said, "Daddy, where have you been?

I hope you never ever have to leave again"

I looked in your eyes, pretend to grin (I have to go, sweetie)

Said that I loved you and you're my best friend (Daddy?)

Yeah, I have to go (Daddy?)

Told you to trust me until the end (Daddy?)

But I'm leavin' (I gotta go, I gotta go)

(Daddy?)

Leavin' (I gotta go, I'm sorry)

Leavin' (I'm sorry)

You
