01-REHAB – Do M7
Amy Winehouse
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said
'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but
when I come back you'll
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 but I won't
go go go
I'd rather be
at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway
I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come
in a shot glass
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said
'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll
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 but I won't
go go go
The man said 'why do you think you here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
He said 'I just think you're depressed,
this me, yeah baby,
and the rest'
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said
'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll
know know know
I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friendWhen you walk in the bar
And you dressed like a star
Rockin' your F me pumps
And the men notice you
With your Gucci bag crew
Can't tell who he's lookin' to
Cuz you all look the same
Everyone knows your name
And that's your whole claim to fame
Never miss a night
Cuz your dream in life
Is to be a footballer's wife
You don't like players
That's what you say-a
But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire
You don't like ballers
They don't do nothing for ya
But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller
You're more than a fan
Lookin' for a man
But you end up with one-nights-stands
He could be your whole life
If you got past one night
But that part never goes right
In the morning you're vexed
He's onto the next
And you didn't even get no text
Don't be too upset
If they call you a sket
Cuz like the news everyday you get press
You don't like players
That's what you say-a
But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire
Or them big ballers
Don't do nothing for ya
But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller
You can't sit down right
Cuz your jeans are too tight
And you're lucky it's ladies night
With your big empty purse
Every week it gets worse
At least your breasts cost more than hers
So you did Miami
Cuz you got there for free
But somehow you missed the plane
You did too much E
Met somebody
And spent the night getting caned
Without girls like you
There'd be no fun
We'd go to the club and not see anyone
Without girls like you
There's no nightlife
All those men just go home to their wives
Don't be mad at me
Cuz you're pushing thirty
And your old tricks no longer work
You should have known from the jump
That you always get dumped
So dust off your fuck me pumps
When I walk in your shoes
I understand a man confused
They're much too big, but I don't care
I feel the weight your shoulders bear
Now I really empathize
Looking through your bloodshot eyes
And I know you, you so frustrated
But we all become what we once hated
Besides,
nobody can be that wise
I can't help you,
if you won't help yourself
(If you won't help yourself, help yourself)
No, I can't help you,
if you don't help yourself
(Help yourself, no, no, no)
You can only
get so much from someone else
(You can only get so much from me)
I can't help you,
if you won't help yourself
(You won't help yourself)
You got a degree in philosophy (Philosophy)
So you think you cleverer than me ('Cause you so smart)
But I'm not just some drama queen (Drama queen)
'Cause it's where you're at, not where you've been
So what do you expect from me (What do you want?)
To hold your head above the sea (Keep you high and dry)
And carry you, even though you bigger
'Cause don't you know, you crush my tiny figure
And anyway, we're still so young (Yeah, I'm so young)
And this isn't yesterday
I can't help you,
if you won't help yourself (I can't help you)
No, I can't help you,
if you don't help yourself (You won't help yourself)
You can only get so much from someone else
I can't help you, if you won't help yourself
You might be twenty-five, but in my mind
I see you at sixteen years old most of the time
And I, I'm just a child and you full grown
And it was like nothing that I've ever known
You are like nothing that I ever knew
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye
Huggin' up to big monkey man
Aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye
Huggin' up to big monkey man
I never saw you, I only heard of you

You should be Stronger Than Me
You been here seven years longer than me
Don't you know you supposed to be the man
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am
You always wanna talk it through, I don't care!
I always have to comfort you when I'm there
But that's what I need you to do, stroke my hair!
'Cause I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy
You should be Stronger Than Me
But instead you're longer than frozen turkey
Why'd you always put me in control?
All I need is for my man to live up to his role
Always wanna talk it through, I'm ok
Always have to comfort you every day
But that's what I need you to do, are you gay?
'Cause I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy
He said "The respect I made you earn
Thought you had so many lessons to learn"
I said "You don't know what love is, get a grip!"
Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script
I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just wanna grip your body over mine
Please, tell me why you think that's a crime
I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy
You should be Stronger Than Me
You should be Stronger Than Me
You should be Stronger Than Me
You should be Stronger Than Me
It's okay in the 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
This face in my dreams seizes my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked in soul,
he swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him,
moon spilling in
And I wake up alone
If I was my heart
I'd rather be restless
Second I stop the sleep catches
up and I'm breathless
As this ache in my chest,
as 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 assure him
When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight
Drowned in me, we bathe under blue light
His face in my dreams seizes my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked in 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
Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull T-shirt
You say, "What did you do it with him today?"
And sniffed 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 you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy
He's in a place, but I can′t get joy
Thinking on you in the final throes
This is when my buzzer goes
Run out to meet your chips and pita
You say, "When we′re married"
'Cause you′re 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 you I was trouble
You know that I′m no good
Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I′m in the tub, you on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet
Then you notice little carpet burn
My stomach drop and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first?
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was troubled
Yeah, you know that I′m no good (no good)
