  • When Emma falls in love, she paces the floor
    Closes the blinds and locks the door
    When Emma falls in love, she calls up her mom
    Jokes about the ways that this one could go wrong
    She waits and takes her time
    'Cause Little Miss Sunshine always thinks it's gonna rain
    When Emma falls in love, I know
    That boy will never be the same

    'Cause she's the kind of book that you can't put down
    Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town
    And all the bad boys would be good boys
    If they only had a chance to love her
    And to tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her

    When Emma falls in love, it's all on her face
    Hangs in the air like stars in outer space
    When Emma falls in love, she disappears
    And we all just laugh after seein' it all these years
    When Emma falls apart, it's when she's alone
    She takes on the pain and bears it on her own
    'Cause when Emma falls in love, she's in it for keeps
    She won't walk away unless she knows she absolutely has to leave

    And she's the kind of book that you can't put down
    Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town
    And all the bad boys would be good boys
    If they only had a chance to love her
    And to tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her

    Well, she's so New York when she's in LA
    She won't lose herself in love the way that I did
    'Cause she'll call you out, she'll put you in your place
    When Emma falls in love, I'm learning

    Emma met a boy with eyes like a man
    Turns out her heart fits right in the palm of his hand
    Now he'll be her shelter when it rains
    Little does he know, his whole world's about to change

    'Cause she's the kind of book that you can't put down
    Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town
    And all the bad boys would be good boys
    If they only had a chance to love her
    And to tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her
    Yeah, between me and you, sometimes I wish I was her Writer/s: Taylor Swift
