Amy Winehouse - Just Friends - Lyrics
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 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
It's never safe for us not even in the evening
cause 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

Mitch is in St Lucia
Mitch is in St Lucia, looking after Amy, after her collapse. Poor Mitch, he must be so worried.
Amy Winehouse - Rehab - Lyrics
Rehab is about a period when Amy was drinking a lot, after she got dumped by Blake and thought that she would never see him again. Her management team was worried about her drinking and made her go to a clinic in London. The staff thought she was only depressed and she was sent home after 30 minutes.
The song wasn't meant to be on Back to Black. Amy was in New York to make the album with Mark Ronson, and while telling Mark about the incident, she sang the one "The tried to make me go to rehab but I say no no no". Mark thought it was really good and asked who done it. When she said she just came up with it, he said that she should write a song about it, which she did. Rehab was written in ten minutes. Impressive.
---
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 your 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 friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend
It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried
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

Amy's not coming home
There's been rumors about that Amy's coming back home to London to fix things up with Blake, but Amy's mum Janis means that's not true. Good Amy.
Amy Winehouse - Stronger than me - Lyrics
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
Cuz 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
You always wanna talk it through
I'm O.K
I always have to comfort you
Everyday
But that's what I need you to do
Are you gay?
Cuz I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, n' 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 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
Cuz 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
You always wanna talk it through
I'm O.K
I always have to comfort you
Everyday
But that's what I need you to do
Are you gay?
Cuz I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, n' 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...

Amy househunting in St Lucia
Have you heard that Amy is househunting in St Lucia? God, she looks great at that picture!
Amy Winehouse - Tears dry on their own - Lyrics
Tears dry on their own is a song about Amy's and Blake's breakup and is very different to the other breakup songs she's written about them. In other songs like Back to Black she's heartbroken, but in this one she's strong and means that it's not that bad.
In this song she talks about hotels again. I think her and Blake met a lot at hotels. Maybe cause they were with others while they were togethet?
---
All I can ever be to you,
Is a darkness that we knew,
And this regret I had to get 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 snatch,
I don't know why I got so attached,
It's my responsibility,
And 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 in this grey, 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 a never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is inevitable withdrawal,
Even if I stop wanting you,
A Perspective pushes thru,
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 fuck myself in the head with stupid men,
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And it's okay,
In this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own,
So we are history,
Your shadow covers me
The sky above,
A blaze only that lovers see
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And it's okay,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own,
I wish I could say no regrets,
And no emotional debts,
And as we kiss goodbye the sun sets,
So we are history,
The 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 it's OK,
In this blue Shade,
My tears dry on their own,
In this song she talks about hotels again. I think her and Blake met a lot at hotels. Maybe cause they were with others while they were togethet?

The guide to Camden
You have to read this awesome guide to Camden, Amy's favourite place on earth! Love it!
Amy Winehouse - You know I'm no good - Lyrics
You know I'm no good was written while Amy was with Blake, and she was caught cheating with her ex by Blake when they ran in to eachother at a bar.
I think what people is wondering most on forums is what the phrase "likkle carpet burn" means. Likkle is jamaican slang for little and carpet burn means burn marks on the nees from having sex on a carpet.
The song deals with the problem that Amy can't be faithful, not even to the love of her life.
----
Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt,
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull t-shirt,
You say “what did you do 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 men 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 you, chips and pitta,
You say “when we 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 likkle carpet burn,
My stomach drops 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 trouble,
Yeah, you know that I'm no good.

Amy Winehouse - What is it about men - Lyrics
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 demostrate 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 wanted 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?
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 patters 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?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
so surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
Emulate all the shit my mother hated
I can't help but demostrate 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 wanted 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?
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 patters 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?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?

Amy Winehouse - No greater love - Lyrics
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
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

I feel so sorry for Mitch
He seems to be caring so much guilt. Sure, Amy probably sufffered a lot of his affair, but that was then, and now is the future. I think he has to get over these dark thought and just focus on being a great dad now, which he seems to be.
Amy Winehouse - Know you now - Lyrics
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 hm
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
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 them
I gotta know you now and then
I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
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 hm
Yes I'm perceptive so when I've dance with you you'll whisk your head back the way it were
As you were

Amy Winehouse - In my bed - Lyrics
In my bed is a song from Amy's first album Frank that is about when two people are having sex and one of them thinks the other one has feelings for him or her, although the person don't.
--
Wish I could say it breaks my heart
like you did in the beginning
Its not that we grew apart
a nightingale no longer singing
Its something I know you cant do
seperate sex with emotion
I sleep alone the sun comes up
your still clinging to that notion
Every thing is slowing down
river of no return
recognise my every sound
there is nothing new to learn
You'll never get my mind right
like 2 ships passing in the night
in the night, in the night
want the same thing where we lay
otherwise mines a different way
a different way from where Im going
oh, its you again listen this isnt a reunion
so sorry if i turn my head
yours is a familliar face
but that dont 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 couldnt let it be
I needed it as much as you did
Now its 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 recognise my every sound
theres nothing new to learn
You'll never get my mind right
like 2 ships passing in the night
in the night in the night
Want the same thing where we lay
otherwise mines a different way
a different way from where im going
Oh, it's you again listen this isnt a reunion
so sorry if I turn my head
yours is a familliar face
but that dont make your place safe
in my bed, my bed, my bed.

Marijuana addict again?
Okay, this worries me. I know that Amy consider herself as clean but it can't be healthy smooking that much weed...
Amy Winehouse - I heard love is blind - Lyrics
I heard love is blind is quite a controversial song from Amy's first album Frank. The song is about Amy's perspective on infidelity, something she's talked about in a lot interviews.
--
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…
--
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…

It's war!
Amy has decided not to offer Blake the large sum of money in the divorce. She's going to fight him! Good for you Amy! He's not worth a penny!
Amy Winehouse - He can only hold her - Lyrics
He can only hold her is about when someone is still inlove with her or his ex and, the new partner only can have the girl for a moment.
--
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 thinks "What she's running from?"
Now, how can he have her heart
When it got stole
So he tries to pacify her
Because whats inside her never dies
Even if she's content in his warmth
She is played with urgency
Searching kisses
The man she misses,
The man that he longs to be
Now how can he have her heart
When it got stole
So he tries to pacify her
Cause what's inside'll never die
So he tries to pacify her
Cause whats inside her
It never dies
So he tries to pacify her
Cause what's inside her never dies
--
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 thinks "What she's running from?"
Now, how can he have her heart
When it got stole
So he tries to pacify her
Because whats inside her never dies
Even if she's content in his warmth
She is played with urgency
Searching kisses
The man she misses,
The man that he longs to be
Now how can he have her heart
When it got stole
So he tries to pacify her
Cause what's inside'll never die
So he tries to pacify her
Cause whats inside her
It never dies
So he tries to pacify her
Cause what's inside her never dies

Get well sweetie!
Have you heard that Amy's collapsed again?
So sad, I hope she can battle her demons and stop with her selfdestructive ways.
So sad, I hope she can battle her demons and stop with her selfdestructive ways.
Amy Winehouse - Love is a losing game - Lyrics
Love is a losing game is a song about Blake and their breakup. It has a lots of reference to pool as Amy's a fanatic and used to play a lot with Blake. The song has won several awards and is so beautiful!
---
For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a 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
Till the chips were down
know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
Though I'm rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
---
For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a 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
Till the chips were down
know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
Though I'm rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Amy Winehouse - Round midnigt - Lyrics
Round Midnight is a song about when Amy and Chris ended their relationship. Same theme as "Wake up alone", different guy.
--
It begins to tell,
'round midnight, 'round midnight.
I do pretty well till after sundown,
And suppertime I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad,
'round midnight.
Memories always start
'round midnight, 'round
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,
So when my heart is still with you,
Yes ol' midnight knows it, too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
Does it mean that our love is ending.
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart,
And I'm out of my mind.
So let our hearts take wings
'round midnight, 'round midnight
Let the angels sing,
for your returning.
Till our love is safe and sound.
And old midnight comes around.
Cause I'm feelin' sad,
and it really gets bad
'round midnight, 'round midnight

Amy Winehouse - Best Friends - Lyrics
Best Friends is a song about when Amy and her best friend Juliette Ashby was in a fight. Juliette and Amy has been friends since they were four, and shared a flat when they were in their late teens. The song is actually about how rough it was on them living together. You can read a very interesting interview with them both here. Juliette and Amy used to smoke a lot of weed, according to Amy, but Juliette never done hard drugs, and it seemes like they're not as closed as they were. Which I can understand.
Stephanie and Paulette is a reference to the movie Grease, they were two of the pink ladies. When it comes to slang, dro means weed, and Rizla is a paper that Marijuana can be rolled with.
--
I can't wait to get away from you
Unsurprisingly you hate me too
We only communicate when we need to fight
But we are best friends...right?
You're too good at pretending you don't care
There's enough resentment in the air
Now you don't want me in the flat
When you’re home at night
But we're best friends right?
You’re Stephanie and I'm Paulette
You know what all my faces mean
And it's easy to smoke it up, forget
Everything that happened in between
Nicky’s right when he says I can't win
So I don't wanna tell you anything
I can't even think about
How you feel inside
But we are best friends, right?
I don't like the way you say my name
You're always looking for someone to blame
Now you want me to suffer just cause
You was born wide
But we are best friends right?
You’re Stephanie and I'm Paulette
You know what all my faces mean
And its easy to smoke it up, forget
Everything that happened in between
So I had love for you when I was 4
And there's no one I wanna smoke with more
Someday I'll buy the Rizla, so you get the dro.
Cause we are best friends right, right, right, right?
Because we are best friends right?
Because we are best friends right?

Amy Winehouse - Cherry - Lyrics
Cherry is a song from Amy Winehouses first album Frank. It's about a guitar she got and how much she loved it. She compares it to Chris, that she is quite mad at at the time (as always?). It's a cute, jazzy song, that Amy plays often at concerts.
Her name is Cherry, we just met
But already she knows me better than you
She understands me
After eighteen years
And you still don't see me
Like you ought to do
Maybe we could talk 'bout things
If you was made of wood and strings
While I love her every sound
I dunno how to tune you down
You're so thick and my patience thin
So I got me a new best friend
With a pickup that puts you to shame
And Cherry is her name
And when I'm lonely, Cherry's there
And she plays along while I sing out my blues
I could be crying and you don't care
You won't call me back
You're stubborn as a mule
Maybe we could talk 'bout things
If you was made of wood and strings
You might think I've gone too far
I'm talking 'bout my new guitar
Her name is Cherry, we just met
But already she knows me better than you
She understands me
After eighteen years
And you still don't see me
Like you ought to do
Maybe we could talk 'bout things
If you was made of wood and strings
While I love her every sound
I dunno how to tune you down
You're so thick and my patience thin
So I got me a new best friend
With a pickup that puts you to shame
And Cherry is her name
And when I'm lonely, Cherry's there
And she plays along while I sing out my blues
I could be crying and you don't care
You won't call me back
You're stubborn as a mule
Maybe we could talk 'bout things
If you was made of wood and strings
You might think I've gone too far
I'm talking 'bout my new guitar

Amy Winehouse - Wake up alone - Lyrics
Wake up Alone is a song about Amy's breakup with Blake, and how her life was. She stayed at the house, drank to much and cried a lot. This song is one of my favourites, and I think it's so beautiful live.
...
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
The second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
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
Drowning 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
...
It's okay in the day I'm staying busy

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black - Lyrics
Back to black that gave Amy's second album it's name, was actually written by Marck Ronson. He played it for her, she totally loved it and wrote the lyrcis.
The song is about her and Blakes break up in 2006 and the hard time following it. Blake went back to his old girl friend while Amy got really depressed, started drinking very much and sitting around her apartment smoking weed. Amy says that this was the worst time of her life, but also very productive as almost all the songs on Back to Black was written at this time. The song Back to Black can be seen as a song that explains the rest of the Back to Black album.
A question that is often asked in forums are what "You love blow and I love puff" means. It's actually about their drug habbits. Blake loved blow, i.e. cocaine, and Amy loved puff, i.e. weed. Amy actually was strongly against hard drugs before marrying Blake.
Another sentence people is asking about, is "Life is like a pipe, and I'm a little penny rolling up against the walls". This is a reference to a crack pipe and a crack ball.
"We only said goodbye with words" is a very strong sentence that shows that they never stoped loving eachother, although they broke up.
--
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick 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 goodbye 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 goodbye 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 goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

Betty Boop tattoo
I've read several times that the first tattoo Amy got was a Betty Boop tattoo on the back when she was 15. Although I've never seen it. Anyone know the story? Did she cover it with another tattoo?
