[Verse 1]

There's a girl

She's in her twenties

She only listens to The Cure

Oh, the world

Isn't it funny

When most of us are keeping score?

But not Emily

Oh, no

[Chorus]

Oh, Emily, what do you know?

You got two tickets to the midnight show

He calls and tells you you're the only one

But now he's out there havin' so much fun

Oh Emily, what do you say

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

When things are different but in the same way

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

He calls and tells you you're the only one

But now he's out there havin' so much fun

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

(Oh Emily, oh Emily, oh Emily)

[Verse 2]

She moved up north

Up to the country

No subway trains beneath her feet

She got divorced

And she seems happy

At least I think she ought to be

C'mon Emily, yeah?

1, 2, 3, 4

[Chorus]

Oh, Emily, what do you know?

You got two tickets to the midnight show

He calls and tells you you're the only one

But now he's out there having so much fun

Oh Emily, what do you say

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

When things are different but in the same way

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

He calls and tells you you're the only one

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

But now he's out there having so much fun

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

(Oh Emily, oh Emily, oh Emily)

(Emily)

Oh Emily, what do you say

When things are different but in the same way?

He calls and tells you you're the only one

But now he's out there having so much fun

Oh, Emily, what do you know?

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

You got two tickets to the midnight show

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

He calls and tells you you're the only one

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

But now he's out there having so much fun

(Oh Emily, oh Emily)

[Outro]

Emily, you are the only one

Oh, Emily, you are the only one

Emily, you are the only one

Oh, Emily, you are the only one
