There was a time when I was young, well I'm still young anyway
I met the hottest girl in town, her name was Emily
Well I tried to be kind, sang the stray cat blues
opened her my heart told her the latest news
sang something 'bout Albama's needs
But Lynyrd Skynyrd's just not my cup of tea
Emily - you can have anything from me
Emily - you're a beautyqueen, a member of the scene
You're just what my mama was looking for me
Well I tried to impress her with a mean guitar
spent lots of money on drinks at the bar
Then I asked her if she wants me to amuse her
But that didn't work 'cause I don't like no blueser
Emily - you can have anything from me
Emily - you're a beautyqueen, a member of the scene
You're just what my mama was looking for me
Well she's broken my heart I just don't know why
chartered a flight with a guy to Hawaii
Now I asked my best friend "Oh, what should I do?"
He said: "Dump her, that b**h ain't good enough for you!"
Emily - you can have anything from me
Emily - you're a beautyqueen, a member of the scene
You're just what my mama was looking for me
Oh Emily - you ain't no good for me
Emily - you ain't no good for me
Emily - you ain't no good for me
Emily - you were a beautyqueen a member of the scene
just what my mama was looking for me
