Emoji Lyrics
[Intro]
(Don't wipe this smile right off my face)
(Don't want this fragile heart to break)
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji)
[Verse 1]
Boy, I think you must be cool
'Cause you use the alien face
And where you are, I got no clue
Might as well be outer space
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Textin' me 2 AM before I go to sleep
Messaging all PM
Smiley showing teeth
Using thumbs in lowercase duels
That's how we communicate
[Chorus]
I don't like April Fools'
Just when you think you know me
I don't play catfish rules
I'd rather stay Emoji
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji, ah, emoji)
I'd rather stay Emoji
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji, ah, emoji)
[Verse 2]
Even if your screen name's fake
Drop a pin in Google Maps
'Cause I won't go there anyway
You don't have to watch your back
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Textin' me 2 AM before I go to sleep
Messaging all PM
Smileys showin' teeth
Love it when we play this game
They should make our lives an app
[Chorus]
I don't like April Fools'
Just when you think you know me
I don't play catfish rules
I'd rather stay Emoji
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji, ah, emoji)
I'd rather stay Emoji
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji, ah, emoji)
I'd rather stay Emoji
[Bridge]
Don't wipe this smile right off my face
(I'd rather stay Emoji)
Don't want this fragile heart to break
(I'd rather stay Emoji)
Emoji
(Don't wipe this smile right off my face)
(Don't want this fragile heart to break)
[Chorus]
I'd rather stay Emoji
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji, ah, emoji)
I'd rather stay Emoji
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji, ah, emoji)
I'd rather stay Emoji
[Outro]
Don't wipe this smile right off my face
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji, ah, emoji)
(I'd rather stay Emoji)
Don't want this fragile heart to break
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji, ah, emoji)
(I'd rather stay Emoji)
Don't wipe this smile right off my face
(Ah, emoji, ah, ah, emoji, ah, emoji)
(I'd rather stay Emoji)
Don't want this fragile heart to break

Sometimes it’s easier and safer to stay living in a fantasy than face reality. Emoji to me, is about an online relationship/friendship where someone is afraid to show the other person who they really are – in fear of disappointing them...
