Just Friends
(Amy Winehouse)

When will we get the time to be just friends
It's never safe for us not even in the evening
‘cos I've been drinking
Not in the morning where your shit 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 the time
To just do this shit together
For it gets worse
I wanna touch you
But that just hurts

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

Me And Mr.Jones
(Amy Winehouse)

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

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

What kind of fuckery 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)

You Know I'm No Good
(Amy Winehouse)

Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
You say what did you do 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're ten men 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 can't get joy
Thinking of you in the final throes, this is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet you, chips and bitter
You say we'll marry '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 ya, 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 yeah 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 trouble, you know that I'm no good


Rehab
(Amy Winehouse)

They tried to make me go to rehab, 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, I won't go, go, go

I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventeen 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 we don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab, 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, I won't go, go, go

The man said, "Why do you think you're 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"
Kiss me, yeah baby and go rest"

They tried to make me go to rehab, 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 friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend

And it's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black and 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, I won't go, go, go

Amy, Amy,Amy
(Amy Winehouse)

Attract me
'til it hurts to concentrate
Distract me
Stop me doing work I hate

And just to show him how it feels
I walk past his desk in heels
One leg resting on a chair
From the side he pulls my hair

(Amy Amy Amy)
Although I've been here before
(Amy Amy Amy)
He's just too hard to ignore
Masculine you spin a spell
I think you'd wear me well
(Amy Amy Amy)
Where's my moral parallel?

It takes me
Half an hour to write a verse
He makes me
Imagine it from bad to worse

My weakness for the other sex
Every time his shoulders flex
Way the shirt hangs off his back
My train of thought spins right off track

(Amy Amy Amy)
Although I've been here before
(Amy Amy Amy)
He's just too hard to ignore
Masculine he spins a spell
I think he'd wear me well
(Amy Amy Amy)
So where's my moral parallel?

His own style
Right down to his Diesel jeans
Immobile
I can't think by any means

Underwear peeks out the top
I'll let you know when you should stop
From the picture my mum drew
I know I'd look good on you

(Amy Amy Amy)
Although I've been here before
(Amy Amy Amy)
You're just too hard to ignore
Masculine you spin a spell
I think you'd wear me well
(Amy Amy Amy)
So where's my moral parallel?

Creative energy abused
All my lyrics go unused

but when I clock black hair, blue eyes
A teardrop I fantasize

(Amy Amy Amy)
(Amy Amy Amy)
Although I've been here before
(Amy Amy Amy)
He's just too hard to ignore
Masculine he spins a spell
I think he'd wear me well
(Amy Amy Amy)
So where's my moral parallel?

(Amy Amy Amy)
(Amy Amy Amy)
Although I've been here before
(Amy Amy Amy)
He's just too hard to ignore
Masculine he spins a spell
I think he'd wear me well
(Amy Amy Amy)
So where's my moral parallel?


Help Yourself
(Amy Winehouse)

When I walk in your shoes
I understand a man confused
There must have been but I don't care
I feel the way your soul does there
Darling they empathise
Looking through your bloodshot eyes
And I know you you're so frustrated
Above we all become what we once hated
Be slight nobody can be that wise

I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone yeah
You can get so much from me
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself

You've got a degree a in philosophy
So you think you're cleverer than me
But I'm not some dumb drama queen
Cos it's where you're at not where you've been
So what do you expect from me
To hold your head above the sea
And there are you even though you're bigger
Cos don't you know you push my tiny figure
And anyway we're still so young
And this isn't yet the day

I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone yeah
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself

You might be twenty-five but in my mind
I see you at sixteen years or most of the time
And I'm just a child and you're full grown
And no I'm nothing like I've ever known yeah
I'm nothing like I've ever known

What Is It About Men?
(Amy Winehouse)

Understand once he was a family man
So surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
Emulate all the shit my mother hated
I can't help but demonstrate my Freudian fate
My alibi for taking your guy
History repeats itself, it fails to die
And animal agression is my downfall
I don't care 'bout what you got, I want it all

It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my bed
And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
What is it 'bout men?

I'm nurturing, I just wanna do my thing
And I'll take the wrong man as naturally as I sing
And I'll save my tears for uncovering my fears
For behavioural patterns that stick over the years

It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my bed
And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
Now my destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?

Ooh it's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my bed
And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
What is it 'bout men?

October Song
(Amy Winehouse)

Today my bird flew away
Gone to find her big blue jay
Starlight before she took flight
I sung a lullaby of birdland every night
I sang a lullaby every night
Sung for my Ava every night

Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet sound
And Ava flies in paradise
And Ava flies in paradise

With dread I woke in my bed
Two shooting pains up in my head
Lovebird, my beautiful bird
Spoke until one day she couldn't be heard
She spoke until one day she couldn't be heard
And she just stopped singing

Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In her sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet sound
And Ava flies in paradise
And Ava flies in paradise


Take The Box
(Amy Winehouse)

Your neighbours were screaming
I don't have a key for downstairs
So I punched all the buzzers hoping he would be there
And now my head's hurting
You say I always get my own way
But you were in the shower when I got there
And I don' wanted to stay, but I got nothing to say

You were so beautiful before today
And then I heard what you say...man that was ugly

The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Frank's in there and I don't care
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Just take it
Take the box
Take the box

I came home this evening and nothing felt like how it should be
I feel like writing you a letter but that is not me...you know me
Feel so fucking angry, don't wanna be reminded of you
But when I left my shit in your kitchen
I said goodbye to your bedroom and smiled at you

Mr False Pretence, you don't make sense
I just don't know you
But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye?
I think I love you

The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Frank's in there and I don't care
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Now take it
Take the box
Just take it, take it
Take the box
And now just take the box
Take the box

In My Bed
(Amy Winehouse)

Wish I could say it breaks my heart
Like you did in the beginning
It's not that we grew apart
A nightingale no longer singing

It's something I know you can't do
Separate sex with emotion
I sleep alone, the sun comes up
You're still clinging to that notion

Everything is slowing down
River of no return
Recognize my every sound
There is nothing new to learn

You'll never get my mind right
Like two ships passing in the night
In the night, in the night
Want the same thing when we lay
Otherwise mine's a different way
A different way from where I'm going
Oh, it's you again listen this isn't a reunion
So sorry if I turn my head
Yours is a familiar face
But that don't make your place safe
In my bed, my bed, my bed

I never thought my memory
Of what we had could be intruded
But I couldn't let it be
I needed it as much as you did

Now it's not hard to understand
Why we just speak at night
The only time I hold your hand
Is to get the angle right

Everything is slowing down
River of no return
You recognize my every sound
There's nothing new to learn

You'll never get my mind right
Like two ships passing in the night
In the night, in the night
Want the same thing when we lay
Otherwise mine's a different way
A different way from where I'm going
Oh, it's you again, listen this isn't a reunion
So sorry if I turn my head
Yours is a familiar face
But that don't make your place safe
In my bed, my bed, my ba ba dee dee bed

O envolvimento de figuras da indústria do entretenimento com as drogas é fato consumado. Nos anos 1960 e 1970, entorpecentes e alucinógenos eram ingredientes básicos de movimentos da contracultura, como o hippie. Na época, contestar era preciso e as drogas abriam as portas da percepção, como cantava Jim Morrison, do The Doors. Se antes as substâncias ilícitas eram figuras para contestação e combustível para movimentos culturais de grande importância, hoje, no século 21, alcançaram novo significado. Nessa discussão, a cantora Amy Winehouse é a bola da vez. Anteontem, ela agrediu o próprio segurança.

O talento estratosférico da musa do soul inglês foi tomado pelo vício: cocaína, ecstasy, heroína e até mesmo o devastador crack são figuras fáceis no cardápio da diva. No mês passado, foi internada e diagnosticada com enfisema pulmonar devido ao abuso de cigarros e crack. A situação é pouco comum para uma jovem rica e talentosa no alto de seus 24 anos, mas não para ela. Não para Amy Winehouse, a celebridade mais comentada do momento, amada, odiada, reconhecida, respeitada, detonada, podreira, chave-de-cadeia. Enquanto ela se recupera de mais uma crise, os brasileiros podem conferir Frank – o álbum de estréia, lançado em 2003, chegou agora às lojas do país.

Antes do clima “meu mundo caiu” de Back to Black (2006), reconhecido internacionalmente por sucessos nas paradas e diversos prêmios, Amy Winehouse construiu Frank tendo o jazz como principal aliado. Na época, com apenas 19 anos, chamou atenção de maneira discreta da imprensa especializada. A explosão de Back to Black levou os admiradores da cantora a conhecer o primeiro trabalho (em terras gringas, o disco ganhou edição especial com demos, remixes e faixas ao vivo).

O background da jazzística Amy, cujo início no mundo da música veio aos 13 anos, foi pautado no pop e na black music. “Até eu completar 11 anos, escutava o The Immaculate Collection, da Madonna, todo dia. Aí eu descobri a música negra com Salt ‘n’ Pepa e TLC. Foi como ‘Oh meu Deus! Essa é minha música!’. Eu e minha melhor amiga, Juliet, começamos uma banda, a Sweet ‘n’ Sour (Doce e Azedo). Éramos rappers. Eu era a azeda, claro”, contou em entrevista ao periódico britânico The Guardian, em fevereiro de 2004.

Ao alcançar reconhecimento, Amy já chamava atenção pelo temperamento forte e pela franqueza. Pouco depois do lançamento de Frank, ainda em entrevista ao The Guardian, ela desceu a lenha no próprio trabalho. “Nunca ouvi o disco do início até o fim. Nem o tenho em casa. O marketing foi uma merda, a promoção foi terrível. Tudo foi uma bagunça”, criticou. “Algumas coisas nesse disco me fazem viajar a um lugarzinho muito amargo”, contou. Talvez, a superação seja parte de uma tática da cantora para esquecer os problemas. Em entrevista ao tablóide inglês The Sun, em outubro de 2006, ela disse: “Só escrevo canções quando há um problema que não consigo superar sozinha. Aí escrevo uma canção sobre o assunto para deixá-lo para trás”.

A exaustiva promoção de Frank levou Amy Winehouse a um bloqueio: 18 meses sem escrever nada. O hiato criativo teve fim quando a cantora se encontrou com Mark Ronson, famoso produtor inglês. A união entre cabeça e voz gerou o aclamado Back to Black. Em Rehab, o grande sucesso do álbum, Amy diz não à reabilitação. Os copinhos de vinho, que ajudavam a tímida inglesinha descendente de judeus a terminar um show, começaram a multiplicar-se. Enquanto apresentava o trabalho em shows menores e programas de tevê, mais de uma vez, Winehouse, que já havia declarado fumar maconha eventualmente, aparecia com resquícios de pó branco no nariz. A bola de neve estava pronta para aumentar.

Incendiária
O sucesso da carreira era comemorado por noitadas cada vez mais hardcore. O casamento com Blake Fielder-Civil botou ainda mais lenha na fogueira. O companheirismo por vezes rendeu belas cenas, como declarações de amor explícitas durante shows (vide a interpretação de Wake up Alone, no DVD I Told You I Was Trouble – Live in London), mas foi na bagaceira que eles se encontraram. Movidos por boas doses de álcool e drogas, o casal passou a viver, literalmente, “entre tapas e beijos”. Certa vez, saíram de um quarto de hotel completamente destruídos – nele, arranhões e socos; nela, maquiagem borrada e sangue na sapatilha.

Em agosto de 2007, um susto: Amy cancelou alguns shows da turnê alegando exaustão. Nos bastidores, corria a notícia de que ela teria sido internada com overdose após um coquetel molotov de heroína, ecstasy, cocaína, álcool e até mesmo tranqüilizante para cavalos. Três meses após o incidente, a prisão de Blake, acusado de obstrução à justiça num caso de assalto a um pub, transtornou ainda mais a cantora. Por várias vezes, os paparazzi a surpreenderam pelas ruas de Londres, chorando seminua e descalça. Enquanto espera o marido sair da cadeia, mais escândalos. Ao ser flagrada por uma câmera oculta fumando crack e cocaína, decidiu internar-se. Em vão, mais uma vez. No campo profissional, consagrada, levou cinco Grammy na premiação deste ano.

Há pouco, o mundo foi testemunha de mais um vacilo. Em show do Rock in Rio Lisboa, ela errou as letras, apareceu rouca, desafinada, bêbada e mal agüentou-se em pé no palco, tendo que ser amparada por seguranças. O diagnóstico de enfisema e a internação fizeram o mundo pensar que o choque poderia ser eficaz. Amy comemorou a alta do hospital acendendo um cigarro. Poucos dias depois, visivelmente saudável, participou da série de shows em homenagem aos 90 anos de Nelson Mandela. Entretanto, dias mais tarde, no Festival de Glastonbury, desceu do palco e, ao ser supostamente molestada por um fã, fez jus à fama de brigona e distribuiu sopapos ao som de Rehab.

Ao que parece, a saudável e criativa Amy Winehouse parece ter ficado no passado. Numa dessas ironias da vida, em um dos versos de Amy, Amy, Amy, última faixa de Frank, a cantora se pergunta onde está seu paralelo de moralidade. Mal sabia ela que tempos difíceis estavam por vir.


(There Is) No Greater Love
(Amy Winehouse)

There is no greater love
Than what I feel for you
No sweeter song, no heart so true

There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing, sing to me

You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known
And to think that you are mine alone

There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Than what I feel for you

Moody's Mood For Love
(Amy Winehouse)

There I go, there I go, there I go, there I go
Pretty baby you are the soul, snaps my control
Such a funny thing but everytime your near me I never can behave
You give me a smile and I'm wrapped up in your magic
There's music all around me
Crazy music, music that keeps calling me so
Baby close to you, turns me into your slave
Come on and do with me any little thing that you want to
Anything, baby just let me get next to you

So am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you
In the clear blue sky, how I worry 'bout you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love

So tell me why, stop to think about this weather, my dear
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again baby
Won't you come and put our two hearts together
That would make me strong and brave
Oh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Now if there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let in rain
I'm sure our love together would endure a hurricane
Oh my baby won't you please let me love you
And get a release from this awful misery

What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Don't you understand me, now baby please
Pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, come on and take
I'll be what you make me, my darling

Oh baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let me visit out there
In that new promised land

Maybe there we can find
A good place to keep a lovin' state of mind
I'm so tired of being without it
And never knew what love was all about
James Moody would you come on hit me
You can blow now if you want to, I'm through

Amy Winehouse será DJ em clube de Londres



Amy Winehouse promove nesta quinta-feira (10) a primeira noite de uma festa nova em um clube de Londres, na qual discotecará.

A festa "Snakehips At The Monarch" acontece no clube The Monarch, no bairro onde a cantora vive em Londres, Camden.

De acordo com o site do semanário inglês "New Musical Express", Winehouse tocará canções que influenciaram sua carreira até hoje.

A cantora britânica de 24 anos foi acusada recentemente de ter agredido uma pessoa em um pub de Londres.


I HEARD LOVE IS BLIND
(Amy Winehouse)

I couldn't resist him
His eyes were like yours
His hair was exactly the shade of brown
He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell
It was dark and I was lying down

You are everything, he means nothing to me
I can't even remember his name
Why're you so upset?
Baby, you weren't there and I was thinking of you when I came

What do you expect?
You left me here alone
I drank so much and needed to touch
Don't overreact, I pretended he was you
You wouldn't want me to be lonely

How can I put it so you understand?
I didn't let him hold my hand
But he looked like you, I guess he looked like you
No he wasn't you
But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity
It's not cheating, you were on my mind

Yes he looked like you
But I heard love is blind


FUCK ME PUMPS
(Amy Winehouse)

When 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 you 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 taste

Don't be too upset
If they call you a skank
Cuz like the news everyday you get pressed

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 you jeans are too tight
And your lucky its 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 cane

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 your brushing thirty
And your old tricks no longer work

You should have known from the job
That you always get dumped
So dust off your fuck me pumps


KNOW YOU NOW
(Amy Winehouse)

You're just a little boy underneath that hat
You need your nerve to hide your ego, don't come with that
You think everything is handed to you free
But it's not that easy, no

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta know you now and then

My girl says I'm too sensitive to ride with you
But I'm not listening to her, mm hmm
Yes I'm perceptive so when I've dance with you
You'll whisk your head back the way it were
As you were

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta know you now and then

Do do dah
(ad lib)

Oh, I'm not ruling you out
I'm just in doubt as to what you say you're all about, yeah

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta show you now and then
I gotta know you now and then

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again

De onde vem o estilo Amy Winheouse?



Ela é um ícone de estilo e pretende até lançar a sua grife roupas e maquiagem. Mas, reparando bem, Amy Winehouse parece ter se inspirado na cantora de ópera Maria Callas, que morreu em 1977, para compor o seu look.

As roupas retrô, o uso do delineador líquido para ressaltar os olhos e, os lábios – quase sempre – vermelhos, a fazem parecer a cada dia mais com Callas.

Se foi uma "estratégia" de Amy , deu certo. Ela fez história até a indústria da moda, quando Karl Lagerfeld usou na passarela de Londres, no ano passado, modelos com os cabelos à la colméia - típicos de Amy -, inpirados na própria.



Quer se maquiar igual à Amy Winehouse? Já caiu um vídeo com o passo a passo na rede.



YOU SEND ME FLYING
(Amy Winehouse)

Lent you Outsidaz and my new Badu
While I was thinking you didn't have a clue
Tough to sort files with your voice in my head
So then I bribed you downstairs with a Malboro red
So now I feel so small discovering you knew
How much more torture would you have put me through?
You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes
Or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes

And although my pride is not easy to disturb
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your Beasties tee
Now I can't work like this, no no, with you next to me

And although he is nothing in the scheme of my years
It just serves to bludgeon my futile tears
And I'm not used to this, no no, I observe, I don't chase
So now I'm stuck with consequences, thrust in my face
And the melodramas of my day deliver blows
That surpass your rejection it just goes to show
A simple attraction that reflects right back to me
So I'm not as into you as I appear to be

And although my pride's not easily disturbed
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your Beasties tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me

His message was brutal but the delivery was kind
Maybe if I get this down I'll get it off my mind
It serves to condition me and smoothen my kinks
Despite my frustation for the way that he thinks

And I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect
At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect
Didn't think you get my number down and such
But I never hated myself for my age so much

And although my pride's not easy to disturb
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your Beasties tee
Now I can't work like this, no no, with you next to me

And although my pride's not easy to disturb
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your Beasties tee
Now I can't work like this, no no, with you next to me


STRONGER THAN ME
(Amy Winheouse)

You should be stronger than me
You been here seven years longer than me
Don't you know you're 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!

Cos' 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 rip your body over mine
So 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
