  • Alarm clock rings, another day in hell begins
    I'm going out of my mind, until she walks in
    They say love is blind, but my vision is fine
    Angels sing, when I look in her eyes

    I'm like

    Emily, won't you sit next to me
    You've got such a pretty face, I'm a waste of space
    But a boy can dream
    It sucks, you're cool and I'm not
    But they say, every dog gets its day
    No chance at all, I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree anyway.

    I'm like a dog in heat, and I'm on a short lead
    We never play the same games, because you're out of my league
    You don't even know my name, but you see me every day
    I must be invisible, I just wish that I could say

    Hey!

    Emily, won't you sit next to me
    You've got such a pretty face, I'm a waste of space
    But a boy can dream
    It sucks, you're cool and I'm not
    But they say, every dog gets its day
    No chance at all, I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree anyway

    Emily, won't you sit next to me
    Such a pretty face, I'm a waste of space
    But a boy can dream

    Emily, won't you sit next to me
    You've got such a pretty face, I'm a waste of space
    But a boy can dream
    It sucks, you're cool and I'm not
    But they say, every dog gets its day
    No chance at all, I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree anyway

    I was barking, up the wrong tree anyway
    Yeah, yeah
    I was barking, up the wrong tree anyway Writer/s: Ben Samson, Dan Lancaster, Dec Hart, Eddy Thrower, George Astasio, Jason Pebworth, Jonathan Shave, Mike Duce
