Emmie why'd you fall down on your face Yearning for your father's warm embrace? So you learned to follow your Learned to follow in your mother's footsteps Yet spoiled and loved beyond Spoiled and loved beyond the world you knew yet With his present flaws You sink deep in his arms Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance Emmie you have aged beyond your ways You come a foreigner to your father's place Rewind camcorder tapes You sat on his lap and stole his glasses And he fall half asleep Overworked and cycled towards the next week With his present flaws You sink deep in his arms Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance Emmie there are things you wished he'd say A reason or a season that you'd hope he'd stay But work again he goes And takes another flight to California You know that he means well But silence carries words that he couldn't tell And with his present flaws You grip tight his aching palms Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance

I have another dozen ways to win your love, So won't you hold tight, 'til I get it right, I'm gonna take a chance or two, until you realize No matter how many tries, I'm gonna come through... (Emmie's got what I want) What I want is time to prove, (Emmie's got what I need) I've been around the world and come back to you. (Emmie! oh, Emmie...) Pack your bags 'cause you're coming too, it's true, it's true! So won't you hold on, tell your boss you're long gone, We're gonna take off in the blue... And we're not coming home, 'cause I'm home enough with you... Yeah! I'm home enough with you, yeah! (Emmie's got what I want) What I want is time to prove, (Emmie's got what I need) I've been around the world and come back to you.

Love can't bring me down! Love can't bring me down! What I want is time to prove, I've been around the world and come back to you. What I want I'm seeing through, I've been around the world and come back to you.

When they found you on the edge of the road You had a pistol underneath your coat But it all started back in '79 Your mother used to work from sunset to five And when you knew enough to know where to go You said you wanted to be out on your own Why don't you tell me what you really want Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies? You say you must be going out of your mind And I can see you when I look in your eyes You're always talking on the end of your tongue And sweep the ashes underneath the rug You swear you're having just the time of your life You've got it wrapped in pretty papers and white Why don't you tell me what you really want Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies? Lies, lies, lies Lies, lies, lies Oh, baby, we can go? The shadow's taking its toll We're not women anymore Time is keeping score It's the blind leading the blind One can handle lie Oh, it's not what I wanna say But it's late anyway When I saw you on the edge of the road You had a pistol underneath your coat I should be sleeping by your lonely side Instead of working on this song all night
