Emerald Lyrics - Elton John

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 

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

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 

But you 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 

We 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
