Emily G Songtext
von Courting

What′s a couple pounds to a girl like me
Well, I've been breathing softly, only since the 80s
I see you all the time in magazines
Oh, you′re so pretty, so I tell you you're pretty

You said when you got home you'd have time for me
So I took a taxi, passed out in the backseat
Pictured you spinning me round′ like some movie scene
When I woke up you weren′t with me, the headlights left me dizzy
And our song was on like

"Oh, Em G I hope you're okay
Well, I can′t believe it's happening again"


And I know it gets better
It needs to hurt sometimes
I know you kept calling
Well hell, I called five times tonight
And I, oh I
And I could lose myself
But only for a minute
And I can′t seem to talk myself back into it
And I, oh I

And I can't believe that you′ve settled down
And I can't believe that you're better now

We were running for the school bus
And the TV schedule never changed
It′s a managed decline
Compared to the 60s
2009, it looks good on paper and
Everything looks like a landing strip these days
So I find your number
I call you and I say

"Oh, Em G I hope you′re okay
Well, I can't believe it′s happening again"


Well, I know it gets better
It needs to hurt sometimes
I know you kept calling
Well hell, I called five times tonight
And I, oh I
And I could lose myself
But only for a minute
And I can't seem to talk myself back into it, I
And I, oh I

And I can′t believe that you've settled down
And I can′t believe that you're better now

And I didn't mind all the long nights
(Only because) You were there the whole time
(And I) Would take the stains out of your jeans
You kept everything intertwined
And I Tried my best but I can′t lie
(When I′m with them) I think about you the whole time
(When I'm with them) I think about you the whole time
(When I′m with them) I think about you the whole time

And I can't believe that you′ve settled down
And I can't believe that you′re better now
