Emily
(Jimmy Don Thornton)
Well, all the dirty old men are eying her I'm no better in the corner spying her She bends over to pick up a rag She walks my way and I can barely say Now, Emily, you look so nice Well, Emily, you better bring a glass of ice Emily, I don't know how much of this I can take I shiver, I shake I make some stupid joke about the menu You know how it gets so clumsy when you Try to think out the next thing to say But she doesn't notice and laughs anyway Now, Emily, I don't want to cause a scene Emily, you're the best I've ever seen Well, Emily, I don't want to be another coffee break I shiver, I shake These lines, you must have heard them all Well, everyone's lined up at the waitress call Well, Emily, you got me climbing up the walls Well, Emily smiles and goes on with her work The next remark from the next drunken jerk The same sweet smile, the same heartthrob You know the whole damn act's just part of the job Now, Emily, I'm sorry 'bout the ketchup drip Well, Emily, I'm sorry 'bout the lousy tip Well, Emily, I guess tonight I'll lay awake And shiver and shake Will you think of me when I'm out the door? Will you think of me when you're on the floor? Will you think of me, well, any more? Well, Emily Well, Emily Well, Emily Well, Emily
