Why won't you give me the time of day
Tell me the reasons that you run away
Did I do something
Cause I'm so confused
Feels like you want me but you're afraid
So tell me what you want me to do
Oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
I'm just trying to find a way to your heart
Oh Emily
Will I ever be
the one you call when you are all alone in your bed
the one that you try but you can't get out of your head
Emily, oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
You're doin' things that are hard to read
Oh why are you fighting the chemistry
Is there's something that's in your past
that someone hurt you so bad
I just wanna set you free
So tell me what you want me to do
Oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
I'm just trying to find a way to your heart
Oh Emily
Will I ever be
the one you call when you are all alone in your bed
the one that you try but you can't get out of your head
Emily, oh Emily
Don't be mean to me

I think we might have a chance at something
Don't try to tell me that you're not feeling it
So why don't you just let me in

Oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
I'm just trying to find a way to your heart
Oh Emily
Will I ever be
the one you call when you are all alone in your bed
the one that you try but you can't get out of your head
When you've done it all and you decide you want me instead
Emily, oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
Don't be mean to me
Oh Emily
Don't you be mean to me
Oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
