Emotion, what are you doin'
Oh, don't you know
Don't you know you'll be my ruin
You've got me crying, crying again
When will you let this heartache end

Emotion, you get me upset
Why make me remember
What I want to forget
I've been lonely, lonely too long
Emotions, please leave me alone

You worry my days
Yes, you torture my nights
Never a dream, no, those old dreams
Never turn out right

Emotion, ah, give me a break
Let me forget that I made a mistake
Oh, can't you see what you're doing to me
Emotions, please set me free

You worry my days
Oh, you torture my nights
Never a dream, no, those dreams
Never turn out right

Emotion, ah, give me a break
Oh, let me forget that I made a mistake
Oh, can't you see what you're doing to me
Emotions, please set me free
