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

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,

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 - 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

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

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

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
