Lyrics
Verse
You don't mean what you say, but I believe you anyway
It's easy to be the one to see how right you are
What's wrong with me
Can't hold back the way I feel
Your vision isn't really clear
You say you're just a victim of circumstance
But I don't think that you understand
Chorus
It's an emotional emergency
Emotional emergency
Verse
Looking deep into your eyes
I know there's someone else inside
I just got to tell you this
I even feel it when we kiss
No matter what you think you know
Remember that I love you so
And you've got to give me a second chance
But I don't think that you understand
Chorus
It's an emotional emergency
Emotional emergency
Bridge
I don't think that you understand
You lie when you tell me you're an honest man
I'm feeling an anger deep in my heart
It's a silent anger tearing us apart
There ain't no discusssion 'cause you're always right
You've been fighting a war, but the battle's inside
Chorus
It's an emotional emergency
Emotional emergency
Emotional emergency
Emotional emergency
