Emily
Delacey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, you say you believe in God
And we talk about it all night long
And when we're messed up about love
'Cause my exes call me a slut
We do shrooms and watch MTV
Talk about our favorite CDs
Oh, you don't know how cool you are
I said, Girl, you're a fucking star

You don't know, what you meant to me,
Emily
Oh, Emily
You don't know, what you meant to me,
Emily
Oh, Emily

Sometimes you've got to build up girls
You're one of the best of 'em in this world
When you're pointing out all your flaws
I'll be givin' you my applause
Still remember that day we met
None of us haad shit going on yet
But I knew it right from the start
I said, "Girl, you're a fucking star"

You don't know, what you meant to me,
Emily
Oh, Emily
You don't know what you meant to me,
Emily
Oh, Emily

Oh, Emily, Emily
I wrote you this song, oh Emily
Oh, Emily, Emily
I wrote you this song, oh Emily
Oh, Emily, Emily
I wrote you this song, oh Emily
Oh, Emily, Emily
Emily

You don't know what you meant to me,
Emily
Oh, Emily
You don't know what you meant to me,
Emily
Oh, Emily
You don't know what you meant to me,




Emily
Oh, Emily

Eu Emy

Sim, você diz que acredita em Deus
E falamos sobre isso a noite toda
E quando estamos confuso sobre o amor
Porque meus exes me chamar de vagabunda
Fazemos cogumelos e assistir MTV
falar sobre a nossa CDs favoritos
Oh, você não sabe o quão legal você é
Eu disse, "Garota, você é uma estrela do caralho"

[Refrão]
Você não sabe o que significou para mim, Emily
Oh, Emily
Você não sabe o que significou para mim , Emily
Oh, Emily

[Verso 2]
Às vezes você tem que construir garotas
Você é uma das melhores neste mundo
Quando você está apontando todas as suas falhas
eu estarei revelandovocê meu aplauso
Ainda me lembro daquele dia em que nos conhecemos
Nenhum de nós tinha merda alguma acontecendo ainda
Mas eu sabia desde o início,
eu disse: "Garota, você é uma estrela do caralho"

[Refrão]
Você não sabe o que significou para mim, Emily
Oh, Emily
Você não sabe o que significou para mim, Emily
Oh, Emily

[Bridge]
Oh, Emily. Emily,
eu escrevi essa música para você, oh Emily.
Oh, Emily. Emily
Emily

[Refrão]
Você não sabe o que significou para mim, Emily
Oh, Emily
Você não sabe o que significou para mim, Emily
Oh, Emily
Você não sabe o que significou para mim, Emily
