Amy Winehouse Amy Winehouse - 2006 - Back To Black-album Lyrics

Rehab

They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no.
Yes I've been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.

I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got 70 days
Cuz there's nothing, nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn, from yester halfaway

Didn't get a lot in class
But I know it doesn't come in a shot glass

They're tryin' to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.

I aint got the time,
And if my Daddy thinks I'm fine,
He's tried to make me go to rehab,
I wont go, go, go.

The man said, why you think you're here?
I said, I got no idea
Im gonna, im gonna loose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near

Said, I just think you're depressed
Kiss me, yeah baby
And the rest

They're tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just, ooo, I just need a friend
Im not gonna spend 10 weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just till these tears have dried

They're tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black, but when I come back,
You wont know, know, know

I aint got the time,
And if my daddy f___s I'm fine
He's trying to make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.

You know that I'm no good

Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
You say why did you do it with him today?
And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray

Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear me down like roger moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy,
He's in the place, but I cant get joy,
Thinking of you in the final throws, this is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet your chicks and bitter
You say when we're married cause youre not bitter
There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion, jamaica and spain
Were like how we were again
I'm in the tub youre on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet

Then you notice lickle carpet burn
My stomach drops and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
To truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself like I knew I would
I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
I cheated myself, like I knew I would
I told ya I was troubled, yeah ya know that I'm no good

Me and Mr Jones

Nobody stands in between me and my man, it's me
and Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones)

What kind of f___ery is this?
You made me miss the Slick Rick gig (oh Slick Rick)
You thought I didn't love you when I did (when I did)
Can't believe you played me out like that (Ahhh)

No you aint worth guest list
Plus one of all them girls you kiss (all them girls)
You can't keep lying to yourself like this (to yourself)
Can't believe you played yourself (out) like this

Rulers one thing but come Brixton
Nobody stands in between me and my man
'Cause it's me and Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones)

What kind of f___ery are we?
Nowadays you don't mean d___ to me (d___ to me)
I might let you make it up to me (make it up)
Who's playing Saturday?

What kind of f___ery are you?
Side from Sammy you're my best black Jew
But I could swear that we were through (we were through)
I still want to wonder 'bout the things you do

Mr. Destiny, 9 and 14
Nobody stands in between me and my man
'Cause it's Me and Mr JOnes (Me and Mr Jones)

Just friends

When will we get the time to be just friends?

It's never safe for us,
Not even in the evening cause I've been drinking
Not in the morning when your s___ works,
It's always dangerous
When everybody's sleeping and I've been thinking,
Can we be alone
Can we be alone

When will we get, the time to be, just friends
When will we get, the time to be, just friends

And no I'm not ashamed,
But the guilt will kill you,

If she don't first
I'll never love you like her
Though we need to find a time to just do this s___ together
For it gets worse,
I want to touch you,
But that just hurts

When will we get, the time to be, just friends
When will we get, the time to be just friends, just friends

When will we get, the time to be, just friends
When will we get, the time to be, just friends

Just friends

Back to Black

He left no time to regret
Kept his d___ wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

Love is a Losing game

For you I was a flame,
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came,
Love is losing game

One I wish I never played,
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band,
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand,
Love is a losing hand
Self professed profound
Til' the chips were down
Know youÂ're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Tho' I battled blind,
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind,
Love it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds,
And laughed at by the Gods
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing game

Tears Dry on Their Own

All I can ever be to you is a darkness that we knew
And this regret I got accustomed to
Once it was so right
When we were at our high
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
I knew I hadn't met my match
But every moment we could s_____
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility
You don't owe nothing to me
But to walk away I have no capacity

He walks away the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I don't understand
Why do I stress a man?
When there's so many better things at hand
We could've never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal
Even if I stop wanting you
and perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I shouldn't play myself again
i Should just be my own best friend.
Not f**k myself in the head with stupid men

He walks away the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

So we are history,
Your shadow covers me
The sky above
A blaze

He walks away the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I wish I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above a blaze
That only lovers see

He walks away the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way
My blue shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away the sun goes down
He takes the day but I am grown
And in your way
My deep shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way
My deep shade
My tears dry

Wake Up Alone

It's okay in a day, I'm staying busy
Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he
Got so sick of crying
So just lately
When I catch myself I do a 180
I stay up clean the house
At least I'm not drinking
Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
That silent sense of content
That everyone gets
Just disappears soon as the sun sets

His face in my dreams, seizing my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked to the soul
He swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him
Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone

Bothers my heart
I'd rather be restless

The second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
Got this ache in my chest
Cuz my day is done now
The dark covers me and I cannot run now
My blood running cold
I stand before him
It's all I can do to a__ure him
When he comes to me
I drip for him tonight
Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light

His face in my dreams, seizing my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked to the soul
He swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him
Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone

Some Unholy War

If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
I would be behind him
Straight shook up beside him
With strength he didn't know
It's you I'm fighting for
He can't lose with me in tow
I refuse to let him go
At his side and drunk on pride
We wait for the blow

We put it in writing
But who you writing for
Just us on kitchen floor
Justice done,

Reciting my stomach standing still
Like you're reading my will
He still stands in spite of what his scars say
I'll battle till this bitter finale
Just me, my dignity and this guitar case

Yes my man is fighting some unholy war
And I will stand beside you
but who you dying for
B - I would have died too
I'd of liked to
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
If my man was fighting

He Can Only Hold Her

He can only hold her for so long
The lights are on but noone's home
She's so vacant Her soul is taken
He is what she's running from
How can he have her heart
When it got stole
Though he tries to pacify her
Whats inside her never dies
Even if she's content in his warmth
She gets pained with urgency
Urgent kisses
The miss misses
The man that he longs to be
Now how can he have her heart
When it got stole
So he tries to pass it by
Cause what's inside'll never die
As he tries to pacify her
Cause whats inside her never dies
