[Bruce Roberts:]
Oh Emerald
I didn't mean to act this way
I feel numb and dumb
And oh so overcome by the things we say
Oh Emerald
I am not your little boy
Times are tough enough for us to be so rough
Swimming hard against the waves
[Bruce Roberts and Elton John together:]
I don't mean to act so cruel
And I don't mean to punish you
Must this be the life we choose?
I don't want to be a slave to you
I just want to be true
[Bruce Roberts:]
Oh Emerald
If you could only see the view from my eyes
Then you'd know how far I've gone for you
But you look the other way
