Amy Winehouse, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8JtiznyfYQ

“You've got a degree in philosophy,
So you think you're cleverer than me.
But I'm not just some 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 crush my tiny figure?
And anyway we're still so young
And this isn't yet the day.
I can't help you if you won't help yourself.”

Amy Winehouse

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.”

Kept his dick wet,
With his same old safe bet.
Me & my head high,
And my tears dry,
Get on without my guy.”

My stomach drop and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first?

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 trouble, yeah you know that I'm no good.”

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

I said no, no, no
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back

And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to rehab
I won't go, go, go.”

But I know it don't come in a shot glass.”

“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?”

Put it in the box, put it in the box,
Now take it, Take the box.”
